Another way is to set filetype detection locally. This way the project files don't get filled with editor-specific stuff. You may want add something like the following to your ~/.vim/filetype.vim file:

    augroup filetypedetect
            autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead .git_bash_completion  setl ft=sh
    augroup END
