Subject: [PATCH] bash completion: Append space after file names have been completed
Message-ID: <20080714002203.GA13749@spearce.org>

```
When completing `git show origin/maint:Makef<tab>` we should add a
space after the filename has been completed, so that the user can
immediately begin the next argument.

I also added a special case for the symlink variant so we treat it
just like a normal blob, as there are no items below it in the Git
tree structure.
