Thanks for this :-) Works like a charm @sweiss3
And thanks for this addition @glucas

elseif #text > 0 and m:sub(1, string.len(text)) == text then

I was not satisfied with any of the solutions provided here, so I created a own implementation using the parser of clink.
It features better tab completion for example if you have the branches:
you can type:
git checkout pri<TAB>b<TAB>
which you can't do with the other solutions.
It's still work in progress but here is it: https://gist.github.com/wald-tq/0f274c3dd561dd8f0f7189c65b825f55
