Here is a version that can to both commit name lookup and branch name
lookup, and with a configuration parameter that determines how to find
branch names to complete on.

Why do you introduce a separate function for checkouts?  I don't see
much need to have a different set of completions for checkout
vs. cherry-pick, they both can be used with an arbitrary commit anyway.

Yes, but the typical uses differ a lot. The (overwhelmingly) typical
use of checkout is to switch to another branch. The typical use of
cherry-pick is to pick any commit and not treat branch heads
specially.

So when switching branches, I obviously want a simple way to select
which branch to switch to. When cherry-picking, I would need some
simple way of picking any single commit, but that's hard so making it
easy to pick any named commit is probably the reasonable solution.
