git-completion.bash seems to be missing --help. Hitting TAB just shows e.g.,
$ git add --<TAB>
--dry-run --ignore-errors --interactive --patch --refresh --update
Only for plain
$ git --<TAB>
is one able to complete --help.

```

Adding completion for --help to every command we have long option
completion on is just annoying.

Doesn't it complete "git he<TAB> ad<TAB>"?
