This was implemented in bash-5.0.

Is this the right place for bash feature requests?

It would be great if:

    alias gco="git checkout"
    gco <tab>

To autocomplete to a list of branches just like:

    git checkout <tab>

does.

Stackoverflow questions with more upvotes than the top answer imply often imply good feature requests: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/342969/how-do-i-get-bash-completion-to-work-with-aliases/1793178
