Add a new --mode option to __git_complete_refs, which allows changing the behavior to call __git_heads instead of __git_refs. By passing --mode=heads, __git_complete_refs will only output local branches. This enables using "--mode=heads --dwim" to enable listing local branches and the remote unique branch names for DWIM. Refactor completion support to use the new mode option, rather than calling __git_heads directly. This has the advantage that we can now correctly allow local branches along with suitable DWIM refs, rather than only allowing DWIM when we complete all references. Choose what mode it uses when calling __git_complete_refs. If -d or --detach have been provided, then simply complete all refs, but *without* the DWIM option as these DWIM names won't work properly in --detach mode. Otherwise, call __git_complete_refs with the default dwim_opt value and use the new "heads" mode. In this way, the basic support for completing just "git switch <TAB>" will result in only local branches and remote unique names for DWIM. The basic no-options tests for git switch, as well as several of the -c/-C tests now pass, so remove the known breakage tags.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
