[PATCH] git-completion.tcsh: fix redirect with noclobber

tcsh users who happen to have 'set noclobber' elsewhere in their ~/.tcshrc or ~/.cshrc startup files get a 'File exist' error, and the tcsh completion file doesn't get generated/updated.

Adding a `!` in the redirect works correctly for both clobber (default) and 'set noclobber' users.
