Quick clarification: I actually think it would be nice to make it easy to pass maintenance of the git completion script to that project if automatic option discovery means changes to the script settle down or if we have less time to work on it some day. Unfortunately, the proposed namespace rules[1] (I didn't think the change had happened or been set in stone yet?) would not make that easy. Oh well.
