This assignment is somewhat curious, although it should work as expected
either way ;-)

Well, according to

  git blame contrib/completion/git-completion.bash  |grep '++'

you started this convention back in 2006, I just copied and modified

Yea, I don't doubt it was me that did this.
 

Maybe an old C++ "heritage"?  In C++ it matters for class types (e.g.
iterators), because the postfix operator might be slower than the
prefix.

Unlikely, but maybe.  I'm not really a C++ programmer.  I tend to
avoid C++ when/if I am given the chance to do so.
