-# If you have a command that is not part of git, but you would still
-# like completion, you can use __git_complete:
+# To add completion for git subcommands that are implemented in external
+# scripts, define a function of the form '_git_${subcommand}' while replacing
+# all dashes with underscores, and the main git completion will make use of it.
+# For example, to add completion for 'git do-stuff' (which could e.g. live
+# in /usr/bin/git-do-stuff), name the completion function '_git_do_stuff'.
+# See _git_show, _git_bisect etc. below for more examples.
+#
+# If you have a shell command that is not part of git (and is not called as a
+# git subcommand), but you would still like git-style completion for it, use
+# __git_complete. For example, to use the same completion as for 'git log' also
+# for the 'gl' command:
#
# __git_complete gl git_log
#
-# Or if it's a main command (i.e. git or gitk):
+# Or if the 'gk' command should be completed the same as 'gitk':
#
# __git_complete gk gitk
#
+# The second parameter of __git_complete gives the completion function; it is
+# resolved as a function named "$2", or "__$2_main", or "_$2" in that order.
+# In the examples above, the actual functions used for completion will be
