Enum RefScope 

pub enum RefScope {
    Tags,
    Remotes,
    AllRefs,
    Revisions,
}

What a RefPickSource lists.

Variants

Tags

refs/tags/* — Delete tag.

Remotes

Configured remotes (git remote), not refs/remotes/*: the operations that take one want origin, not origin/main.

AllRefs

Everything for-each-ref returns — branches, remote-tracking refs and tags. What a “ref” prompt means.

Revisions

MG.53.g: refs and recent commits — what “revision” means.

git log alone answers “which commit on the branch I am on”, which is the wrong question for view this file as it is on origin/main: a file on another branch is not in the current branch’s history at all, so no number of commits would surface it. Emacs’s magit-find-file completes over branches, tags and commits together for the same reason.

Refs come first: reaching for another branch is the common ask, and a branch name is the thing a user can recognise.
