Bash completion for git branches that (still) sucks

There are a lot of git branch completion scripts floating around out there. Here's another one.

Why?

1. It's stupid simple (unlike some other scripts)
2. It supports any possible git command that uses a branch (or tag) name
3. It works when git is aliased to g and/or you are using git aliases (and you should be)
4. It only completes remote branches when using grb track (gem install git-remote-branch)
5. It's available to me when I inevitably work on other computers.

Installation

curl https://raw.github.com/gist/1443992/200d077154a79f8b0ab32980ecb2e48b1372b8c7/.git-completion.bash > ~/.git-completion.bash
echo 'source ~/.git-completion.bash' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Caveats

Adds branch completion to all git commands, not just branch-specific commands. This isn't an issue for me, and it probably won't be for you either.
