completion: add new __gitcompadd helper

felipec · gitster · commit 1ce23aad3446 · 2013-04-14T23:18:58.000-07:00
The idea is to never touch the COMPREPLY variable directly.

This allows other completion systems (i.e. zsh) to override
__gitcompadd, and do something different instead.

Also, this allows further optimizations down the line.

There should be no functional changes.
