Git Autocompletion looks weird (and only half-functional)

Following these excellent instructions for enabling Git bash autocompletion in OSX:

curl https://raw.github.com/git/git/master/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash -o ~/.git-completion.bash
echo "source ~/.git-completion.bash" >> ~/.bash_profile

I get the following output when I type "git TabTab" at the command line:

Output from git tab-tab

Following multiple different tutorials produces the same result. Either I don't know the right search terms or there is just very little documented about this issue...

Anyone encountered similar issues implementing git autocompletion for OSX? Running Lion if that's important.

I have the same problem. Using export GREP_OPTIONS='--color=auto instead of export GREP_OPTIONS='--color=always' could resolve this problem.

Turns out this is a simple fix. I simply removed the following line from my ~/.bashrc file (as per this post):

export GREP_OPTIONS='--color=always'

...and now it works like a charm :)
