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.
It sounds like what you want is to customize it independently for each
operation. That would be better than having two completion functions,
where it's not clear how they differ and why only one can be
customized.
