Thanks for the suggestion.

_multi_parts offers completions component-wise: e.g., with branches
  origin/master
  origin/interrupt_abort
  foo/master
  foo/bar
the existing code offers each of those as a completion, but _multi_parts
offers just 'origin' and 'foo'.  I could see that being useful for some
people, but for us mortals with few branches it'd be a functionality
regression.

Other ideas?
