Hi,

On 'git <TAB><TAB>' the bash completion runs 'git help -a'.
Correct me if I am wrong, but does "git help -a" not list aliases?  If it 
does, "git help" must search for the Git repository.

If it does not, then "git help" needs fixing, not the completions.  I.e. 
something like this:

-- snipsnap --
[PATCH] git help -a: do not look for a repository
