True. On Debian-based systems, the texlive-extra-utils package has /usr/bin/git-latexdiff and that is likely where it came from.

It is also worth noting that completion will also include whatever alias. I get "lg" in the mix because I have

        [alias]
                lg = "log --oneline"
in my $HOME/.gitconfig, for example.
