Re: git-completion.bash should not add a space after a ref

This is not really a bug, but a small usability problem.

When completing a reference, Bash will add a space after the reference name.

As an example in:

    $git show master<TAB>

The problem is that an user may want to show a tree or blog object from
master:

    $git show master:git.c

Or the user may want to see only changes to the documentation, e.g.

	$ git show master Documentation/

so removing a SP is a regression in the other way around.

Given that "refer to an object in a tree" is a much less often used
operation, I have a feeling that the current behaviour happens to
make a good trade-off between these two conflicting purposes that
cannot be satisfied both at the same time.
