The shell function __git_list_porcelain_commands in contrib/completion/
starts from "git help -a" and filters plumbing commands and helpers
via a blacklist. At least, check-ignore needs to be added there.
These days, we do not add random subcommands willy-nilly (I still
doubt if check-ignore needs to be a separate debugging command, or a
new mode of operation of ls-files or something), so the approach to
use a blacklist makes more sense. "help -a" is designed to show
whatever the users throw in their ~/bin (assuming that is on $PATH)
under git-whatever name, and we _do_ want to complete "git wh<TAB>"
to that custom command, so a whitelist-based solution is unwieldy to
construct.
