I'm not aware of ways it'd make people's lifes more difficult, but if
git_complete is a function intended for completion purposes, I'd
personally not name it git* because it'd interfere for example with
completing git<TAB> by being included in the suggested completions even
though it's never meant to be used that way.  Prefixing for example with
underscore doesn't avoid the problem completely, but makes it less
likely to happen.
