Tab completion for aliases is really useful. It's important enough to me that I won't stop until I've found a solution. I can appreciate that _git_fetch is not currently meant to be called directly, but we found a way to utilize it when it previously worked. Perhaps the scope of these completion functions could be expanded to allow for aliases? I'll attempt to submit a patch if someone can give me approval.
