I tried all that mentioned in this thread, still when I double tap tab key for command git checkout I get only following suggestions
FETCH_HEAD HEAD ORIG_HEAD
whereas I am expecting branch names.
Any other suggestion to get this working?

P.S. I am facing the same issue in all other repos also.
I may be wrong, but I think you are trying to use a too old version of git compared to your version of git-completion.
You can try running:
git for-each-ref --format="(refname:strip=2)" refs/heads/*
If there is no output, of if there is an error, I am probably right (I expect something along the line of fatal: unknown refname: format strip=2).
In this case, either upgrade your version of git, or replace your git-completion so that it matches your version of git. If you choose the latter, you can use this version (from git's github repository).
