I agree, these are worth including.

Don't use __git_complete_file here.  As far as I remember,
git-send-email does not accept "origin/maint:some.patch"
as an email to extract from Git prior to sending.  It looks
for files in the local filesystem.  So you want standard bash
completion for anything not starting with --.

Just use COMPREPLY=() at the end.  See _git_am for an example.

Hmm.  With dash form commands gone in 1.6 we should remove these.

But I suspect this completion patch could be shipped in the next
1.5.6 maint release as its really quite trivial.  Junio, any comment
on that?
