On 'git <TAB><TAB>' the bash completion runs 'git help -a'. Since
'git help' actually doesn't need to be run inside a git repository,
this commit uses the option --git-dir=/nonexistent to prevent it
from searching a git directory. Unnecessary searching for a git
directory can be annoying in auto-mount environments.
The annoying behavior and suggested fix has been reported by Vincent
Danjean through
