Hmm, interesting question. You can use something like `git config --get-regexp alias.\*` to get output along the lines of: alias.tree log --graph --decorate ... Without Github issue #165/#393 being fixed, I can't think of an easy way of getting any further than that though. One useful first step might be adding a '--print' option to `complete` which would output the current completion for a command. Sorry!
