Sorry, I didn't check this properly. I thought I was fixing inside the
git-checkout function, but this is git-read-commit-name which is used
in more than one place.

But for git-checkout, I would like to see a much shorter list of named
commits, namely those that can be called "branches". I'll come up with
a better patch.
I think it's reasonable to do this for the other uses of
git-read-commit-name too, so your original patch looks OK.
Actually, I'd like to go one step further. I'm only interested in
branches, and only in branches I can commit to. So only asking for
refs/heads seems the best solution.
I think that's going too far. It's useful to be able to checkout a tag,
or to cherry-pick from a remote branch.
