Currently, the completion for 'git format-patch' uses __git_complete_revlist. Although this is technically correct, and you can $ git format-patch master contrib where master is a ref and contrib is a pathspec, just like in 'git log', the usage is unidiomatic and undocumented. 'git format-patch' is used without pathspec filtering most of the time, and it makes sense to provide sensible completions using __git_refs.
