Re: [PATCH 1/8] bash: Remove short option completions for branch/checkout/diff.

Completing single character options is rather useless in my mind.
The bash completion is always out of date with respect to the
actual set of supported options, and by definition they are a
single character.  Hitting '-<tab><tab>' to identify the list of
supported options gives *no* detail about what the options do,
and I still have to enter the option letter to complete it.

Completing `git am --w<tab>hitespace=s<tab>trip ` with just 6
keystrokes on the other hand is very informative (whitespace,
strip!) and saves many keystrokes.  That's why long options are
supported, for at least the more commonly accessed ones.

It would be nice to have long option for each git command single 
character (short) option, for example --patch as long option to 
git-diff-tree -p option, etc.
