intellisense doesn't include the completion I want

[amunger]

Steps to Reproduce:

1. type git checkout -- . and press enter :bug: intellisense completion was added for the argument instead of running the command

I have a pretty strong muscle memory to run that command, so now I need to remember to press escape before pressing enter

this is bad enough that I've turned the feature off, I can't even use git status

I also hit these issues particularly with git:

[amunger]

one change that would make this much less painful: ctrl+z should undo the auto-complete change as a single action (as is the case with the text editor). I press enter really quickly, after typing what I want, and if auto-complete provides something I didn't want, ctrl+z will undo one character at a time.

Well powershell does support ctrl+z itself. We may be able to undo everything, or nearly everything by using bracketed paste mode, since you can paste something and undo it fine. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/213937

Just tried with Posh-Git and while the commands (checkout) and aliases (co in mine) work, it still doesn't suggest . after checkout:

(TabExpansion2 -inputScript "git co " -cursorColumn 7).CompletionMatches doesn't show files/folders so we couldn't use that. Maybe using the current completion call, but also providing ., .., etc. when there are only ProviderContainer and ProviderItem entries?
