Hi,
If "GREP_OPTIONS" is set to '--color=always' , then the git completion send some escape characters like this :
^[[1;35;40m^[[K d^[[m^[[Kiff-files mergetool a^[[m^[[Kdd d^[[m^[[Kiff-index mv a^[[m^[[Kddremove d^[[m^[[Kiff-tree name-rev a^[[m^[[Km d^[[m^[[Kifftool notes ...
So you could find a small patch to disable color with "grep" in attachment.
Regards,
