b-is-a-tag is not a branch, so should not be offered as a completion
candidate in this instance.

It looks like lowercase "-d" works. So maybe the "-d" here:

  $ sed -n '/git_branch/,/^}/p' contrib/completion/git-completion.bash | head 
  _git_branch ()
  {
  	local i c=1 only_local_ref="n" has_r="n"
  
  	while [ $c -lt $cword ]; do
  		i="${words[c]}"
  		case "$i" in
  		-d|--delete|-D|-m|--move)	only_local_ref="y" ;;
  		-r|--remotes)		has_r="y" ;;
  		esac

just needs to look for "-D", too?

Oops. I meant to paste the "before" snippet, but this is obviously after
I stuck "-D" in there. It does seem to work. :)

Before we forget, as you said a few times that everything you send
here on Git are signed off...

Subject: [PATCH] completion: treat "branch -D" the same way as "branch -d"

Paul Jolly noticed that the former offers not just branches but tags
as completion candidates.  Mimic how "branch -d" limits its suggestion
to branch names.
