How am I (or anyone else) supposed to know the "intended" meaning
__git_complete_file()?  The implementation is just an alias to
__git_complete_revlist_file(), so I looked at the name and guessed
that it was supposed to complete files; now you tell me that it was
intended to complete any revspec except revision ranges (what does
that have to do with "file" again?).  I suppose digging through the
history would've told me, but I really didn't bother for such a
trivial non-functional change.

If you ask me, you should clamp down on spurious completions
everywhere uniformly, if that is what you want (I personally have no
interest in the topic).  I see no reason to keep a badly named
function around.
