[PATCH] [kernel] completion: silence "fatal: Not a git repository" error

It is possible that a user is trying to run a git command and fail to realize
that they are not in a git repository or working tree.  When trying to complete
an operation, __git_refs would fall to a degenerate case and attempt to use
"git for-each-ref", which would emit the error.

Let's fix this by shunting the error message coming from "git for-each-ref".

Sorry for the "[kernel]" in the subject.  I must have forgotten to
remove that off of my format-patch invocation.  If you need me to
resubmit without it, I can do that.

Thanks!
