Tab completion of `branch-diff` is very convenient, especially given that the revision arguments that need to be passed to `git branch-diff` are typically more complex than, say, your grandfather's `git log` arguments.
Without this patch, we would only complete the `branch-diff` part but not the options and other arguments. This of itself may already be slightly disruptive for well-trained fingers that assume that `git bra<TAB>ori<TAB>mas<TAB>` would expand to `git branch origin/master`, as we now no longer automatically append a space after completing `git branch`: this is now ambiguous.
