Re: [PATCH] completion: --list option for git-branch

Normally one would use just a bare 'git branch' to list branches.
Why would you want to use --list in an interactive environment (as
opposed to a script)? Isn't it better not to clutter the completion
options with something that the user actually has not need for?

        $ git branch jc/\*
        fatal: 'jc/*' is not a valid branch name.
        $ git branch --list jc/\*
          jc/advise-i18n
          jc/advise-push-default
          ...
