Re: [PATCH 9/10] Allow completion of --committer and --author arguments to git log.

This is just a cute hack, but we can (easily) complete the parameter
to --author or --committer in bash by asking for all possible authors
or committers in this project from git log and offering them up as
valid choices.

Easily but slowly ;-).  Try this in the kernel repository

	git log --author=Andre<TAB>

and watch the paint dry.  You might want to have an extra shell
to run top before you hit the TAB key.

It indeed is cute, but I think most people would wonder if the
terminal went dead, especially without any progress indicators.
