This whole series of patches was inspired by a group of workstations at 
a university that set -u by default for all users.

Additionally, doesn't "set -u" make tcsh users feel more at home in 
bash? Certainly other shells have this same behavior in their 
interactive modes.

OK. Can do.

That was a mistake. I missed that hunk. I meant to use the ${1-}.

Again, my mistake. It was late and I missed it.

Ok.

 From what I understand, normal bash completion is like setting "-o 
bashdefault -o default". That is, it tries the bash completions first 
before going to the filename completion. This change makes it so that 
git jumps back to bash completion if nothing git-specific is found. If 
nothing bash-specific is found, it will go back to standard default 
filename completion.
