Merge branch 'jc/alias-completion'

The command line completion script (in contrib/) can be told to
complete aliases by including ": git <cmd> ;" in the alias to tell
it that the alias should be completed similar to how "git <cmd>" is
completed.  The parsing code for the alias as been loosened to
allow ';' without an extra space before it.

* jc/alias-completion:
  completion: loosen and document the requirement around completing alias

# completion style. For example '!f() { : git commit ; ... }; f' will
# tell the completion to use commit completion. This also works with aliases
# of form "!sh -c '...'". For example, "!sh -c ': git commit ; ... '".
# Be sure to add a space between the command name and the ';'.
# Note that "git" is optional --- '!f() { : commit; ...}; f' would complete
# just like the 'git commit' command.
#
# If you have a command that is not part of git, but you would still
# like completion, you can use __git_complete:
