Please be careful here and check for !p.  A refname may be missing
one or two '/' in which case you will cause the process to segfault.

I don't think its a good idea to assume you'll always have to '/'
in the name.  "refs/foo" can be created by git-update-ref.  Or if
we ever started to report on HEAD this output tag would crash.

Also, as a style nit, its "p + 1" not "p+1".

Test cases?

On the other hand, I like where this is going.  Given that it
has such a nice effect on the bash completion for larger repos
I'd like to see it in Git.
