Posh-git: Feature request: Display branches on autocomplete if there are multiple possible branches

[dannoe]

Example:

Repo with 3 branches:
master
feature/foo
feature/bar

When I enter git checkout <tab> I want to see a list of all branches. (master+feature/foo+feature/bar)
When I enter git checkout feature/<tab> I want to see a list of all sub-branches of feature/ (feature/foo and feature/bar)
Currently it just starts to cycle through all possibilities, which can be tedious if you have a lot of branches.

The display should always trigger if there are multiple possibilities.

This is the default behavior of Git Bash on Windows.
It would probably be a good idea to make it configurable.

posh-git just hooks into PowerShell tab expansion behavior. You can change this behavior with PSReadLine (usage) or other PS modules.

This is a common question, so we should probably put something in the docs about it.

Thanks. I thought I was using the bash PSReadLine configuration, but didn't notice I have to put it into my profile 🤦‍♂️
