Does anyone know a way to get bash tab completion to work with this? I've been trying to get it to work for a while now with no success.

For anyone who wants to use this script, I'd recommend changing line 33 to
git --git-dir="$DIR/.subgit" --work-tree="$DIR" "$@"
otherwise it doesn't work properly if you're in a subdirectory within the subgit repo.
