[arch-general] Funny issue with bash-completion and __git_ps1

Hey hey

After the last bash-completion and git update there is a funny issue 
with the Git Prompt [1]: __git_ps1 is not defined

The bash-completion update moved most completion scripts to
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/

and sources them if needed. See line 1933 in:
/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion

__git_ps1 is defined in:
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git

So if you type 'git pul<TAB>' this file gets sourced and the error 
disappears. I worked around this by sourcing this file manually in my 
.bashrc

My question is, where i should report this bug. Is it a git problem or a 
bash-completion problem. I think its a git issue, because __git_ps1 is 
no complete function and should be defined somewhere else... Or shall i 
shut my mouth and continue sourcing it in my .bashrc?
