Hello,
I don't know if this has come up before (I didn't notice in a casual grep of git log), but attached is a little patch to wrap the bash completion script in a `type git' check.
From the patch header: -- The onus for checking if a command exists before loading its completions properly falls on individual completion files since they are normally sourced from a completions directory (e.g. source /etc/bash_completion.d/*), or perhaps from a single file concatenated from other completion files.
Also, this is standard practice with other bash-completion scripts. --
Cheers, Sung Pae
