There are situations where multiple classes of completions possible. For
example

  branch.<TAB>

should try to complete

  branch.master.
  branch.autosetupmerge
  branch.autosetuprebase

The first candidate has the suffix ".", and the second/ third candidates
have the suffix " ". To facilitate completions of this kind, create a
variation of __gitcomp_nl () that appends to the existing list of
completion candidates, COMPREPLY.
