When the __git_refs() completion helper function lists refs from a local repository, it usually lists the refs' short name, except when it needs to provide completion for words starting with refs, because in that case it lists full ref names, see 608efb87 (bash: complete full refs, 2008-11-28). Add the same functionality to the code path dealing with remote repositories, too.
