__git_refs() has the ability to report unique remote names for
supporting completion of remote branch names for the DWIMery of git
checkout and git switch.
For git checkout, this is fine, because it always supports completing
all local references.
However, git switch by default only supports either switching branches
or using this DWIMery to create a local branch tracking the remote
branch.
Future work to cleanup and improve completion support for git switch
will be aided if the remote branch names can be completed separately
from __git_refs.
Extract this logic to a function __git_dwim_remote_heads(), and use it
in __git_refs.

The __git_complete_refs uses the "--track" option to specify when to
enable listing of unique remote branches which are used by the DWIM
logic of git checkout and git switch.
Using the term '--track' here is confusing because the git commands
themselves have '--track' as an argument. Additionally, the completion
logic for _git_switch also checks for --track. Keeping the meaning of
track_opt and --track for __git_complete_refs straight from the --track
git switch and git checkout option is difficult when reading this code.
Use the option '--dwim' instead, indicating this is about enabling or
disabling logic related to DWIM mode. Also rename the local variable
track_opt to dwim_opt to further reduce the confusion when reading the
completion code for _git_switch.
Because it is plausible for users to have developed their own
completions which rely on __git_complete_ref, keep --track as a synonym
for --dwim, even though we no longer use it in any of the core git
completion logic. Add a comment explaining why it remains as an
alternative spelling for --dwim.

Similar to -c/-C, --orphan takes an argument which is the branch name to
use. We ought to complete this branch name using similar rules as to how
we complete new branch names for -c/-C and -b/-B. Namely, limit the
total number of options provided by completing to the local branches.
Additionally, git switch --orphan does not take any start point and will
always create using the empty-tree. Thus, after the branch name is
completed, git switch --orphan should not complete any references.
Add test cases showing the expected behavior of --orphan, for both the
argument and starting point.

When using the branch creation argument for git switch or git checkout
(-c/-C or -b/-B), the commands switch to a different mode: `git switch
-c <branch> <some-referance>` means to create a branch named <branch> at
the commit referred to by <some-reference>.
When completing git switch or git checkout, it makes sense to complete
the branch name differently from the start point.
When completing a branch, one might consider that we do not have
anything worth completing. After all, a new branch must have an entirely
new name. Consider, however, that if a user names branches using some
similar scheme, they might wish to name a new branch by modifying the
name of an existing branch.
To avoid overloading completion for the argument, it seems reasonable to
complete only the local branch names and the valid "Do What I Mean"
remote branch names.
Add tests for the completion of the argument to -c/-C and -b/-B,

When the --track option is provided to git switch or git checkout, and
no branch is specified by -c or -b, git will interpret the tracking
branch to determine the local branch name to use. This "Do What I Mean"
logic is similar but distinct from the default DWIM logic of
interpreting a unique remote branch name as a request to create and
track that branch.
For example, `git switch --track origin/master` is interpreted as
a request to create a local branch named master that is tracking
origin/master.
The current completion for git checkout in this regard is only somewhat
poor:
$git checkout --track <TAB>
HEAD
master
matching-branch
matching-tag
other/branch-in-other
other/master-in-other
At least it still includes remote references. The clutter from including
all references isn't too bad.
However, git switch completion is terrible:
$git switch --track <TAB>
master
matching-branch
It only shows local branches, not even allowing any form of completion
of the remote references!
Add tests which highlight the expected behavior of completing --track on
its own.
Note that when -c/-C or -b/-B are provided we do expect completing more
references, but this will be discussed in a future change that addresses
these options specifically.

When completing words for git switch, the completion function correctly
disables the DWIM remote branch names when in the '--detach' mode. These
DWIM remote branch names will not work when the --detach option is
specified, so it does not make sense to complete them.
git checkout, however, does not disable the completion of DWIM remote
branch names in this case.
Add test cases for both git switch and git checkout showing the expected
behavior.

When provided with a single argument that is the name of a remote branch
that does not yet exist locally, both git switch and git checkout can
interpret this as a request to create a local branch that tracks that
remote branch. We call this behavior "Do What I Mean", or DWIM for
short.
To aid in using this DWIM, it makes sense for completion to list these
unique remote branch names when completing possible arguments for git
switch and git checkout. Indeed, both _git_checkout and _git_switch
implement support for completing such DWIM branch names.
In other words, in addition to the usual completions provided for git
switch, this "DWIM" logic means completion will include the names of
branches on remotes that are unique and thus there can be no ambiguity
of which remote to track when creating the local branch.
However, the DWIM logic is not always active. Many options, such as
--no-guess, --no-track, and --track disable this DWIM logic, as they
cause git switch and git checkout to behave in different modes.
Additionally, some completion users do not wish to have tab completion
include these remote names by default, and thus introduced
GIT_COMPLETION_CHECKOUT_NO_GUESS as an optional way to configure the
completion support to disable this feature of completion support.
For this reason, _git_checkout and _git_switch have many rules about
when to enable or disable completing of these remote refs. The two
commands follow similar but not identical rules.
Set aside the question of command modes that do not accept this DWIM
logic (--track, -c, --orphan, --detach) for now. Thinking just about the
main mode of git checkout and git switch, the following guidelines will
help explain the basic rules we ought to support when deciding whether
to list the remote branches for DWIM in completion.
1. if --guess is enabled, we should list DWIM remote branch names, even
if something else would disable it
2. if --no-guess, --no-track or GIT_COMPLETION_CHECKOUT_NO_GUESS=1,
then we should disable listing DWIM remote branch names.
3. Since the '--guess' option is a boolean option, a later --guess
should override --no-guess, and a later --no-guess should override
--guess.
Putting all of these together, add some tests that highlight the
expected behavior of this DWIM logic.

When provided with no options, git switch only allows switching between
branches. The one exception to this is the "Do What I Mean" logic that
allows a unique remote branch name to be interpreted as a request to
create a branch of the same name that is tracking that remote branch.
Unfortunately, the logic for the completion of git switch results in
completing not just branch names, but also pseudorefs like HEAD, tags,
and fully specified <remote>/<branch> references.
For example, we currently complete the following:
$git switch <TAB>
HEAD
branch-in-other
master
master-in-other
matching-branch
matching-tag
other/branch-in-other
other/master-in-other
Indeed, if one were to attempt to use git switch with some of these
provided options, git will reject the request:
$git switch HEAD
fatal: a branch is expected, got 'HEAD
$git switch matching-tag
fatal: a branch is expected, got tag 'matching-tag'
$git switch other/branch-in-other
fatal: a branch is expected, got remote branch 'other/branch-in-other'
Ideally, git switch without options ought to complete only words which
will be accepted. Without options, this means to list local branch names
and the unique remote branch names without their remote name pre-pended.
$git switch <TAB>
branch-in-other
master
master-in-other
matching-branch
Add a test case that highlights this subpar completion. Also add
a similar test for git checkout completion that shows that due to the
complex nature of git checkout, it must complete all references.

ls-remote may or may not operate within a repository, and as such will
not have been initialized with the repository's hash algorithm. Even if
it were, the remote side could be using a different algorithm and we
would still want to display those refs properly. Find the hash
algorithm used by the remote side by querying the transport object and
set our hash algorithm accordingly.
Without this change, if the remote side is using SHA-256, we truncate
the refs to 40 hex characters, since that's the length of the default
hash algorithm (SHA-1).
Note that technically this is not a correct setting of the repository
hash algorithm since, if we are in a repository, it might be one of a
different hash algorithm from the remote side. However, our current
code paths don't handle multiple algorithms and won't for some time, so
this is the best we can do. We rely on the fact that ls-remote never
modifies the current repository, which is a reasonable assumption to
make.

show-index is capable of reading any possible index file whether or not
