The for-each-ref format modifier ':strip=<N>' was introduced in
v2.7.1~15^2 (tag: do not show ambiguous tag names as "tags/foo",
2016-01-25) and the completion script started using it in
v2.13.0-rc0~46^2~8 (completion: don't disambiguate tags and branches,
2017-03-23).

It seems you're using an old Git with a recentish completion script.
You could either upgrade Git, or use the completion script that was
shipped with it.
