What are you talking about? As far as I can tell, this works identically to
what you have:
notes "
If you want to use bash-completion for git-cola, you have to source the\
completion files from your ~/.bashrc as it extends the git command\
completion and cannot be loaded automatically:
source ${prefix}/share/bash-completion/completions/git
source ${prefix}/share/bash-completion/completions/git-cola
"
I use this all the time.
