Because of that, Vim can't ftdetect off of the file name. The modeline
allows ft=sh even when you don't end in .sh or .bash.

An alternative (to a Vim modeline) is to put

#!bash

at the top of the script. That would do the same thing as the modeline
(even though it would never actually get used by the sourced "script").

Another way is to set filetype detection locally. This way the project
files don't get filled with editor-specific stuff. You may want add
something like the following to your ~/.vim/filetype.vim file:

    augroup filetypedetect
            autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead .git_bash_completion  setl ft=sh
    augroup END
