completion support for git switch is subpar for a number of cases. Most
notable is difference between these two completions:

  $git switch <TAB>
  Display all 784 possibilities? (y or n)
  <list of all references and DWIM remotes>

  $git switch --track<TAB>
  jk-refactor-git-switch-completion master`
...

We've discussed that it may be a good idea to make sure that "switch
-c", "checkout -b" and "switch/checkout --orphan" complete the new
branch name the same way, but haven't done anything else.  I'd very
much appreciate to see the patches reviewed by those involved more
in the completion script, before we decide to merge the topic to
'next'.

It is my intention to extend this series with a notion of reading the
previous word on the command line, and using that to determine if we
are completing an argument for an option.

Thanks,
Jake
