Re: [PATCH] Speed up bash completion loading

Clever. :)

Plus it seems that __git_all_commands is computed twice if I git
<TAB><TAB> and then git help <TAB><TAB> after. Can that be avoided?

Sounds like a bug; thanks.  I’ll squash in something like the following

__git_all_commands is being computed twice on git <TAB><TAB> with
git help <TAB><TAB> after.
