Ok. Following Junio's suggestion I think we would have to do the following:

(1) Revert the rename (git-completion.bash.in -> git-completion.bash)

(2) Add a "generation" mode to git-completion.bash.generate to
generate the lists and output them to a file

(3) Add logic in git-completion.bash.generate to source the generated
file if it exists

(4) Source git-completion.bash.generate in git-completion.bash to get
the functions moved there

Sorry, I do not quite see why an extra *.generate script is necessary.

I'm still assuming the generation mode has to be sh agnostic, therefore 
requiring those functions to be in another *.generate script. Is that wrong?
