I think this is a regression. Because now "git cherry <tab>" will not
complete refs (the default completer can still complete "git cherry
--<tab>" fine). We support option completion of all commands no matter
what categeory they are. The category is mostly to hide them from "git
<tab>".

If you just want to hide "git cherry" from the "git <tab>" list, then
you could remove the "complete" tag in command-list.txt above.
