Yes, I can reproduce this. "git bisect" tells me it was introduced
by v1.7.6-rc0~65^2~4 (completion: remove unnecessary
_get_comp_words_by_ref() invocations, 2011-04-28). Since then, Felipe
has done work to make reusing subcommand completion easy again, so you
can do
__git_complete gtlg _git_log
One complication: on some systems, including Ubuntu 13.04, git's bash
completion script is installed to
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git
and sourced on the fly when completing commands starting with "git"
instead of right away from /etc/bash_completion. On these systems,
the "__git_complete" function would not be usable right away from
your .bashrc file. I think we should fix this, for example by moving
the function to a separate
$(git --exec-path)/git-bashrc-functions
library.
Thanks for reporting,
Jonathan
