I spent quite some time trying to optimize the run by heavy use of bash
arrays (either just in __gitcomp() and at later stage reusing
__git_refs() array within __gitcomp()), but it turned out I have made
few simple mistakes and in the end, the array is slower than Shawn's
approach - when reusing the array, the difference is even bigger.
I think that if a[i]=x is slower than echo x, bash is doing something
real weird, but that seems to be the case.


Someone might find my simple and noisy benchmarker useful:
