Hi Sylvain,

I don't think it's a bug.  The completion script should offer the
currently available refs in the remote repository after a 'git pull
<remote> <TAB>'.  In order to do that it contacts the remote
repository for the list of refs available there.  Depending on the
access method, it might need to authenticate, in your case via ssh.
To silence the password prompts you should change your ssh
configuration to use key-based authentication when logging in to the
remote repository's server (just google for 'ssh login without
password').


Best,
Gábor
