[PATCH] git-completion.bash: add support for path completion

The git-completion.bash script did not implemented full support for completion, for git commands that operate on files from the current working directory or the index.

For these commands, only options completion was available.

Full support for completion is now implemented, for git commands where the non-option arguments always refer to paths on the current working directory or the index, as the follow:

* the path completion for the "git mv" and "git rm" commands is provided
  using "git ls-files --exclude-standard"
* the path completion for the "git add" command is provided using
  "git ls-files --exclude-standard -o -m"
* the path completion for the "git clean" command is provided using
  "git ls-files --exclude-standard -o"
* the path completion for the "git commit" command is provides using
  "git diff-index --name-only HEAD"
