What? It was never anything different from a poorly-named alias for __git_complete_revlist_file(). You have already agreed that __git_complete_file() is a horrible name, so why not deprecate it? Whom is this confusion benefiting, and how is it any "cleaner"? If you're arguing about expanding __git_complete_file(), don't do that: just write a new function and give it a proper name.
