[PATCH] completion: complete refs for "git commit -c"

The "-c" and "-C" options take an existing commit, so let's complete refs, just as we would for --squash or --fixup.

I notice that the existing code just handles the "--foo=bar" form of most
options. By checking $prev, we can also handle "--foo bar" form (which
we have to do for short options like "-c"). But it would mean
duplicating all of the existing logic. I don't know if it's worth it or
not, given that nobody has complained.
