Following setup works for me  in ubuntu (10.04,11.04) for a long time

alias gtlg='git log' complete -o default -o nospace -F _git_log gtlg

However, in debian (testing, wheezy), it doesn't work

$ gtlg or<TAB> gtlg or-bash: [: 1: unary operator expected -bash: [: 1: unary operator expected

$ git --version git version 1.7.10

Can anybody help?
