Rubén Justo 85452a1d4b completion: reflog with implicit "show"
When no subcommand is specified to "reflog", we assume "show" [1]:

    $ git reflog -h
    usage: git reflog [show] [<log-options>] [<ref>]
    ...

This implicit "show" is not being completed correctly:

    $ git checkout -b default
    $ git reflog def<TAB><TAB>
    ... no completion options ...

The expected result is:

    $ git reflog default

This happens because we're completing references after seeing a valid
subcommand in the command line.  This prevents the implicit "show" from
working properly, but also introduces a new problem: it keeps offering
subcommand options when the subcommand is implicit:

    $ git checkout -b explore
    $ git reflog default ex<TAB>
    ...
    $ git reflog default expire

The expected result is:

    $ git reflog default explore

To fix this, complete references even if no subcommand is present, or in
other words when the subcommand is implicit "show".

Also, only include completion options for subcommands when completing
the right position in the command line.
