While this works great when completing something *after* a branch name,
such as

$ git log foo<tab>bar<tab>

which then ends up in

$ git log foo-branch..bar-branch

this new suffix behavior is pretty bad in the following case:

$ git log ma<tab><return>

It ends up executing the following:

$ git log master..

The expected result (and behavior before this change) is:

$ git log master

which is something else entirely.


For some reason the auto-removable suffix does not get removed when
accept-line is called.

Is there a reason for this or a way to fix this?
Or a way to disable the newly introduced .. suffix entirely?

I'd rather hit backspace and add the dots myself when I actually want
them instead of having to remove them when they are inserted automatically.
