got bash completion working for "git annex" not just "git-annex"
This needs a patch to git to cause the git-annex completion to be
auto-loaded when completing "git annex <tab>". Otherwise, it will only
load when "git-annex" is tab completed. Once loaded, it works for both
uses. I've submitted the git patch to the git mailing list.
