git add auto-complete filename

Question

I am working on a git project. Since I have a lot of folder deepness, I would like to improve my auto-completion to work with filenames and not only paths.

Here is an example:

$git status                                                                                                                        1 ↵  ✹master 
On branch master
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

    modified:   app/src/main/java/fr/pasteque/client/BaseFlavor.java
    modified:   app/src/main/java/fr/pasteque/client/widgets/RestaurantTicketsAdapter.java

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

I obviously have to add a file with:

git add app/src/main/java/fr/pasteque/client/BaseFlavor.java

But I would love to be able to write: git add BaseFlavor.java

git add **/BaseFlavor.java works!

But the completion, like git add **/Base<tab>, doesn't..

Any ideas how it can works with completion ?

Thanks in advance!

Try git add **/Base*<tab> (notice the additional *).
