Hmph. I tried this and found that I like "git pull ." completion quite a bit. Having said that:

 * If many people like it (like me), this may deserve to be
   outside contrib/

 * Otherwise, it would probably be better to place it in either
   contrib/bash/git-completion.sh (with potentially other
   bash-related things not just completion, but I do not know
   offhand what other kind of hooks would be useful) or
   contrib/completion/git-completion.bash (possibly with
   completion for other shells).
