Not that I know of.  You can turn off default filename completion
when you register the completion function, but that then breaks
like every other git command for completion support because a lot
of them do want to complete filenames.

What happens with `git grep -e a -e b`?  Do we trigger into ref
completion too early when we should still be doing the regex
completion?
