I agree that presenting both refs and paths cleanly will require a
much better structure than a flat list.  I also agree that hiding
paths when we have ref matches may give us a cleaner layout than
mixing them alphabetically into a single, flat list.  While I am
still not convinced it is the best way, at least that is the
principle current completion implementations use for other commands,
and it makes sense to model the updated completion for send-email
after it.

That said, since I never feed refs to send-email myself, 'if we have
matches with refs, do not show paths at all' rule makes send-email
completion completely useless, at least to me.

Have a great trip, and have fun!

Thanks.
