I see. I read those comments and understood what it is about. I was
just surprised that the code is there to make use of it, yet it's not
specified when invoking that function.
Since it's a trivial piece of code, I would say let's keep it. Could
you please add a sentence about it (that it's for possible future
users and it's not used at the moment) to the commit message for
future reference?

Ok. Then keep it for the time being, and we'll see what we can do to
avoid those duplicates.

Right. Now that you mentioned it, I remember I noticed it a while
ago, too. I even wrote a patch to fix it, but not sure what became of
it. Will try to dig it up.

Interesting, I can't reproduce. Are the duplicates also there, if you
start a bash, source git-completion.bash, and run __git_refs ?
