This simplifies the completions, and makes it easier to define aliases:

 git_complete gf git_fetch

Sounds neat.  Unfortunately users could already be using a function
with some other purpose named git_complete in their .profile and this
would override it.  The completion script has so far stuck to a
limited namespace:

       _git_*  (completion functions)
       __git_* (everything else, including public interfaces like __git_ps1)

A name like __git_complete should work, presumably.

Perhaps it's time to avoid the __ prefix for public interfaces;
otherwise how would people know they are public?
