Tab completion of `branch-diff` is very convenient, especially given
that the revision arguments that need to be passed to `git branch-diff`
are typically more complex than, say, your grandfather's `git log`
arguments.

Without this patch, we would only complete the `branch-diff` part but
not the options and other arguments.

This of itself may already be slightly disruptive for well-trained
fingers that assume that `git bra<TAB>ori<TAB>mas<TAB>` would expand to
`git branch origin/master`, as we now no longer automatically append a
space after completing `git branch`: this is now ambiguous.

You should use __gitcomp_builtin so you don't have to maintain
$__git_branch_diff_options here. Something like this

Does this really work? I have this instead, for now, and verified that it
works:
