This series adds --git-completion-helper-all, which behaves similarly to --git-completion-helper but includes options which are typically hidden. An environment variable GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL is used to opt-in to this behavior.
I often prototype automated tooling around git by running commands locally until I'm satisfied with the behavior, then migrating them into a script. Having bash completion for some of the more obscure options is useful.
I wasn't sure how to add automated tests around this without making the tests overly brittle (e.g. depending on a verbatim list of options), so I welcome ideas and feedback.
