Pacman conflict for interdiff (bash-completion-git and patchutils)

The patchutils package now includes its own bash completion file for interdiff. If you're getting a conflict due to the old one provided by the bash-completion-git package when attempting to upgrade your system, first upgrade the bash completion package to remove the existing completion file, then upgrade your system as usual. In my case, I ended up switching over to the normal bash-completion package since I didn't need the -git version.

The file in question:
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/interdiff

It doesn't seem like this is a common issue, as I was unable to find it posted on Arch-specific forums before now, but in case someone else stumbles upon it, here's at least some kind of documentation for a fix.

Did you try rebuilding/updating bash-completion-git ?
