I would rather think that the completion should ask for refs only when
dealing with local repositories, without going over network, whether the
query involves authentication or not.

When given a repository nickname, do we have a good way for the completion
script to tell if it is local or remote?  "type -d $it" might be cheap way
to do so, or we could even do "test $it = ." to limit it really to the
current repository.
