Some commands need the first word to determine the actual action that is being executed, however, the command is wrong when we use an alias, for example 'alias.p=push', if we try to complete 'git p origin ', the result would be wrong because __git_complete_remote_or_refspec() doesn't know where it come from.

So let's override words[1], so the alias 'p' is override by the actual command, 'push'.
