Note that the completion script reads the configured aliases each time
the user attempts to complete commands. So if the user adds or
removes an alias, then it will automatically be taken into account the
next time after 'git <TAB>'. By turning aliases into a group listed
by 'git help' they would be cached like all other commands, so this
would no longer be the case.

I think this should also mention that changing the value of this
config variable will not immediately affect the commands listed after
'git <TAB>', but the user will have to re-dot-source the completion
script first.
The way I understand the rest of the patch, this config variable
doesn't have any effect if $GIT_COMPLETION_CMD_GROUPS doesn't contain
"config". If that is indeed the case, then that should be mentioned
here as well.
Having said that, I wonder whether we should really require "config"
in $GIT_COMPLETION_CMD_GROUPS. Isn't having 'completion.commands' set
in the config a clear enough indication in itself that the user wants
to customize the listed commands?

So first it was "mainporcelain", then simply "main", then
"mainporcelain" again, and now "list-mainporcelain"?!
You've lost me here.
Are the possible values documented anywhere?
Furthermore, the default value mentioned in the comments above didn't
include "config", either (but then again, I don't think we really need
"config" in the first place).
