In 2b9bd488ae ("completion: teach rebase to use __gitcomp_builtin",
2019-09-12), the completion script learned to complete rebase using
__gitcomp_builtin(). However, this resulted in `--onto=` being suggested
instead of `--onto `.

Before, when there was a space, we'd start a new word and, as a result,
fallback to __git_complete_refs() and `--onto` would be completed this
way. However, now we match the `--*` case which does not know how to
offer completions for refs.

Teach _git_rebase() to complete refs in the `--onto=` case so that we
fix this regression.

Thanks for reporting the bug, Paul. I overlooked this case when I made
the commit that you pointed out.

Very well explained.  Thanks, will queue.

Could you please queue this on the tip of
'dl/complete-rebase-and-archive' since it fixes a regression introduced
in that branch?

Thanks,

Denton

The topic dl/complete-rebase-onto, which has this patch, is built
directly on top of that topic.  Since we may need to rewrite the
patch when further review comments come in, I'd prefer to leave it
separate from the other topic (which must not be rewritten) at least
for now.

Thanks.
