Add basic support for completion of refs with git blame.

Maybe leave --porcelain and --incremental out since they are intended for scripts?

blame is pretty uninteresting on untracked files. It would be nice if to only complete files that exist in the specified commit, just like 'git show $rev:$file' does. I think this applies to some other commands as well, like 'git checkout $rev [--] $file'. Has this been discussed before? I didn't find anything when searching the archives. I can imagine it might have been rejected because of performance problems.
