Well, people out there might have completion scriplets for their
aliases or custom git commands which use __git_complete_file().
Removing this function would break those scripts.

What is the advantage of using __git_complete_file() over
__git_complete_revlist_file()?  Isn't it just a misleading alias?

None.

But "Those who have been using it can update their script" is not an
answer you give when dealing with a regression.

I think the right thing is to add __git_complete_file() back in;
perhaps strip support of A..B/A...B range notations from it, but
that is an independent change.
