Re: [PATCH] _git: add completion for git-version

Features being undocumented hasn't necessarily stopped us from
including them in completion in the past. I don't think there's any
established policy on this and it can depend on specific cases. In
some cases you would want completion to understand but not offer
the undocumented match (like ! in _arguments specs). This particular
patch seems reasonable to me as-is.

The output of git --version -h or git version -h mentions it. I'd say
that counts even if the man page omits to mention it.
