The core of the argument seems to be that __git_complete_revlist_file() is a misleading name for the completion done by archive and ls-tree, but __git_complete_file() is somehow a less misleading name? Irrespective of what the valid completions of the various commands are, I want to know which completion function will be _used_ when I'm reading the script. And that is __git_complete_revlist_file().

To me, it looks like mega-bikeshedding; a huge amount of time and effort going behind a non-functional variable rename (and the best part? the rename isn't getting us a "better" name; just a "historical" name). But whatever.
