I have checked Cygwin git, bash-completion/-devel, and pkgconf/pkg-config 
packages, and I do not see any changes affecting completion installation, unless 
there were glitches affecting the packaging of git 2.45.4, or earlier 
bash-completion, or pkgconf/pkg-config updates between git 2.45.1 and current 
stable of those packages, on the systems used to build and package those deployed?
