Title:
  emacs bash tab-completion doesn't work for commands with complete
  scripts in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/

Status in “emacs24” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm using emacs with the following two lines in my ~/.emacsrc:

  (require 'bash-completion)
  (bash-completion-setup)

  In an emacs shell window, I noticed that the git tab-complete wasn't
  working; but the stg tab-complete was.  In a normal terminal window,
  both worked just fine.

  After doing some investigation, I discovered that there are two places
  where completion scripts are kept: /usr/share/bash-
  completion/completions/ and /etc/bash_completion.d/.

  All commands with their completion scripts in /etc/bash_completion.d/
  work with tab-complete in an emacs window; this includes stg, grub,
  &c.  All commands with their completion scripts in /usr/share/bash-
  completion/completions/ don't work with tab-complete in emacs; this
  includes git, gzip, &c.

  Steps to reproduce:
  * Add the above two lines to ~/.emacrc
  * Start emacs
  * Open a shell (M-x shell)
  * Type "git check" and then hit tab.

  Expected behavior: emacs completes it to "git checkout"

  Actual behavior: emacs says "No completions".
