The code listing unique remote branches for 'git checkout's tracking
DWIMery outputs only remote branches that match the current word to be
completed, but the filtering is done in a shell loop iterating over
all remote refs.
Let 'git for-each-ref' do the filtering, as it can do so much more
efficiently and we can remove that shell loop entirely.
This speeds up refs completion for 'git checkout' considerably when
there are a lot of non-matching remote refs to be filtered out.
Uniquely completing a branch in a repository with 100k remote
branches, all packed, best of five:
On Linux, before:
$ time __git_complete_refs --cur=maste --track
real 0m1.993s
user 0m1.740s
sys 0m0.304s
After:
real 0m0.266s
user 0m0.248s
sys 0m0.012s
On Windows, before:
real 0m6.187s
user 0m3.358s
sys 0m2.121s
After:
real 0m0.750s
user 0m0.015s
sys 0m0.090s
