Subject: [PATCH 1/1]: git-completion.tcsh fails w/ noclobber

```
tcsh users who happen to have 'set noclobber' elsewhere in their ~/.tcshrc or ~/.cshrc startup files get a 'File exist' error, and the tcsh completion file doesn't get generated/updated.  Adding a `!` in the redirect works correctly for both clobber (default) and 'set noclobber' users.

The subject is better but still not quite there. I suggest:

The email address look wrong. If he really helped you, he probably
emailed you using another address.

"Mentored-by:" is used by Google Summer of Code students. If someone
helps you and you want to acknowledge that, you can add an
"Helped-by:" trailer (unless your helper tells you that you can add a
"Reviewed-by:" or maybe a "Signed-off-by:").
