Git checkout can't auto-complete with bash

I'm using ubuntu with bash. When I typed git checkout then press tab, I expected it would show a list of branches, but I got:

git checkout
bash: eval: line 345: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
bash: eval: line 346: syntax error: unexpected end of file

I googled it but found nothing. And bash even doesn't tell me where is the line 345. Anyone knows what's wrong?

EDIT:

When I set -x to bash and then git checkout [tab], it outputs:

+++ case "$c$2" in
+++ printf '%s
' 'feature/capybara '
+++ for c in '$1'
+++ case "$c$2" in
+++ printf '%s
' 'feature/chinese-search '
+++ for c in '$1'
+++ case "$c$2" in
+++ printf '%s
' 'feature/comment_validation '
+++ for c in '$1'
+++ case "$c$2" in
+++ printf '%s
' 'feature/comments '

...and so on. No error. But I still can't use autocompletion normally.

Try set -x in bash: 

-x   Print commands and their arguments as they are executed.

This should show you what code fails, as it will show what kind of work bash completion does in the background.
