Description
Git has nice tab completion support (e.g. on git checkout [branchname], half-entering the branch name).
This won't be easy, tab completion seems to be configured by bash scripts (/usr/lib/git-core/git-sh-prompt in ubuntu).

Research direction
Start by investigating how the sbt-git plugin could integrate Git's tab-completion behavior, using the Bash completion setup and /usr/lib/git-core/git-sh-prompt as references. Define which commands and branch-name completions are supported, then verify that partially entering a branch name for git checkout produces useful completions.
