Gotcha. For sake of completion here, I migrated my home partition from a
Mint install - which evidently does not use /etc/skel/.bashrc as the
template for new .bashrcs.

bash_completion is an extensible mechanism to augment bash’s builtin
completion of filenames with context-sensitive completion of many other
things, such as git subcommands.

Actually I was using the stock git prior to trying your ppa. When
ubuntu-bug didn't let me file a bug against "git", I decided to try your
ppa.
Wit a second, though. In /etc/bash.bashrc, now that I look at it
with a skeptical eye, I see:
# enable bash completion in interactive shells
#if ! sh
Ubuntu does not support PPA versions, so this is not a bug in Ubuntu.
That said, as the maintainer of ppa:git-core/ppa, I’m interested in what
went wrong. It should be the case that bash_completion automatically
sources everything in the /etc/bash_completion.d directory, including
/etc/bash_compl
Ah, well I mistook the source of my __git_ps1, my bad.
My /etc/bash.bashrc does contain the bash_completion hook, and
bash_completion is working. However unless I explicitly source
/etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt in my bashrc, I get the error about
__git_ps1 not being found.
I have git version
No Ubuntu package has ever shipped files in /usr/local. Either you
installed your own copy of Git manually in /usr/local, in which case you
get to keep both pieces, or you were actually getting __git_ps1 from
somewhere else. In Ubuntu, you get __git_ps1 via these lines in the
default ~/.bashrc:
Wait, why is this invalid? It used to be shipped with Ubuntu's version
and is no longer. Surely there should be a transition package if you're
going to remove functionality.

but neither of the files is shipped by ubuntus package, which is
confirmed by your use of usr/local
