Hello,

When I try to complete a branch name containing @, it doesn't expand as expected.

Running git on Windows 7.

$ git --version git version 1.7.11.msysgit.1

$ git branch
* master
  master@feature

If I write

$ git checkout master@

and press tab, the above expands to

$ git checkout mastermaster@feature
