Probably, but it would be nice to reduce it to a smaller test case (or
one that happens just with completions shipped by Debian) just to rule
out anything git is doing.

Initially, with:

  $ git init repo && cd repo
  $ echo content >file && git add file
  $ git commit -am foo
  $ <C-R>git commit -am f<Tab>

but I also get it with just:

  $ cd /anywhere ;# do not have to even be in a git repo
  $ <C-R>git<Tab>
