She might have had the same problem if she named it _git_complete. That might be unlinkely, but I also find it unlikely that anybody would have a git_complete function. In fact, I find it unlikely that people would write shell functions like that; it's much easier to write scripts and put them in $PATH.

Even more, I just added a foobar() function in my profile, and I also added a foobar() function in /etc/bash_completion.d/git. I don't see my function replaced in any way, even after typing and completing 'git' commands. I don't know how that's possible, but that's why I don't like to take these types of claims as face value.

Cheers.
