Note: GPG is not a standard part of Mac OS X so must be installed separately; see "Installing GPG 1.4.10 on Mac OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard" for more information.

Check to see if we need to update the completion script (no we don't):

$ diff -u ~/.git-completion.sh contrib/completion/git-completion.bash
