here come 3 commands I launch successivley:

 $ complete -p git
bash: complete: git : pas d'indication de complètement
# which is the French for "no completion indications"

$ git <tab><tab>
[…] (completions)

$ complete -p git
complete -o bashdefault -o default -o nospace -F __git_wrap__git_main git
# here you can see than after the completion function has been used once,
it is shown by git complete -p
