bash-completion is not a feature which ships with emacs24.  Where did
you obtain this package?  You should probably report this bug to them
instead.

If you can suggest something to fix in emacs24 as shipped by Ubuntu,
please update your bug report and change its Status back to New.
Thanks.

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:
  Incomplete

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".
