Please read the guide on how to submit patches [1].

Although the change is trivial, some immediate problems I see are:

* The patch is attached rather than being inlined.
* The fix should also be made for the other shells (zsh and tcsh)
* The commit message contains an unnecessary smiley, personal
digression, and a period in the first line.
* The change or the problem it is solving is not clearly described. I
think it would be better if you write something like this in the first
line:

"completion: add --recursive flag to git clone"

And for good measure, add another sentence below explaining why this
should be available for completion.

Do a `git log --grep completion` to see how others have formulated
changes in the same place in the past. You want to be consistent with
them.
