Even 'symbolic-ref' is only completed when
GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL_COMMANDS=1 is set, it currently defaults to
completing file names, which is not very helpful. Add a simple
completion function which completes options and refs.

You can use `git format-patch
--in-reply-to='20240424215019.268208-1-rhi@pengutronix.de'` in order to
link v3 to v2 (or rather: you can use that for a possible v4 (points to
v3)).

(I was going to link to SubmittingPatches here but I didn’t find a
mention of it there. Apparently I misremembered.)

There is a section in the MyFirstContribution docs that mentions it
briefly:

Thanks for noticing.  

We should improve the situation by probably moving[*] more from the
latter to SubmittingPatches so that people do not need to refer to
both just to find out the essentials.


[*] If it is small, just copy; if it is large, move and then replace
    the original with a reference into SubmittingPatches.

I think this is a good idea. Submitted a patch that attempts to improve
this.

Thanks.  Its details are a bit different from what I expected, but
this will work just fine in practice, I would think.

Will queue.
