I admit that it's a very unlikely case. The user did:
$ branch.autosetupmer<TAB>
hit backspace to delete the trailing space, inserted a dot, and hit <TAB> again.

My reasoning was that being correct was more important that being
complete. So, if by some horrible chance, the user names her branch
"autosetupmerge", we don't aid her in completions.

I'm not too irked about correctness in this odd case; seeing that you
aren't either, I'll resubmit the series without this hunk (+ the hunk
in remote.pushdefault).
