Actually, I'd like to go one step further. I'm only interested in
branches, and only in branches I can commit to. So only asking for
refs/heads seems the best solution.

And the default parameter to git-read-commit-name is never used, so I
removed it.

And completing-read works fine with an alist, so the mapcar isn't
nedded any more.

Here is an updated patch:
