Re: [BUG] git bash-completion is incorrect for "git pull origin mas<tab>" if the ssh key is encrypted

I would rather think that the completion should ask for refs only when
dealing with local repositories, without going over network, whether the
query involves authentication or not.

It depends on what "network" is. When the network is just a machine on
the same Gb-ethernet LAN, completion can still be useful (only if you
have password-less authentication of course). I don't use it much with
Git, but I find it handy that ZSH completes rsync remote pathes for
example.

Yeah, I agree it depends on your latency-tolerance (which implies that
this begs for an "I am impatient, do not go over network" switch).
