Those variables are used by bash_completion itself (see at the very beginning
of the file).

There you go:

$ grep git/bash-completion ~/.bashrc
export BASH_COMPLETION=/deb/git/bash-completion/bash_completion
export BASH_COMPLETION_DIR=/deb/git/bash-completion/contrib
. /deb/git/bash-completion/bash_completion
$

(surely I could've done ". $BASH_COMPLETION")

This way, you're always using the latest git commit you have locally pulled.

Hope this helps,
David
