The "_get_comp_words_by_ref -n := words" command from the
bash_completion library reassembles a modified version of COMP_WORDS
with ':' and '=' no longer treated as word separators and stores it in
the ${words[@]} array. Git's programmable tab completion script uses
this to abstract away the difference between bash v3's and bash v4's
definitions of COMP_WORDS (bash v3 used shell words, while bash v4
breaks at separator characters); see v1.7.4-rc0~11^2~2 (bash: get
--pretty=m<tab> completion to work with bash v4, 2010-12-02).
zsh has (or rather its completion functions have) another idea about
what ${words[@]} should contain: the array is prepopulated with the
words from the command it is completing. For reasons that are not
well understood, when git-completion.bash reserves its own "words"
variable with "local words", the variable becomes empty and cannot be
changed from then on. So the completion script neglects the arguments
it has seen, and words complete like git subcommand names. For
example, typing "git log origi<TAB>" gives no completions because
there are no "git origi..." commands.
However, when this words variable is not declared as local but is just
populated by _get_comp_words_by_ref() and then read in various
completion functions, then zsh seems to be happy about it and our
completion script works as expected.
So, to get our completion script working again under zsh and to
prevent the words variable from leaking into the shell environment
under bash, we will only declare words as local when using bash.

Contributed Software Although these pieces are available as part of the official git source tree, they are in somewhat different status. The intention is to keep interesting tools around git here, maybe even experimental ones, to give users an easier access to them, and to give tools wider exposure, so that they can be improved faster. I am not expecting to touch these myself that much. As far as my day-to-day operation is concerned, these subdirectories are owned by their respective primary authors. I am willing to help if users of these components and the contrib/ subtree "owners" have technical/design issues to resolve, but the initiative to fix and/or enhance things _must_ be on the side of the subtree owners. IOW, I won't be actively looking for bugs and rooms for enhancements in them as the git maintainer -- I may only do so just as one of the users when I want to scratch my own itch. If you have patches to things in contrib/ area, the patch should be first sent to the primary author, and then the primary author should ack and forward it to me (git pull request is nicer). This is the same way as how I have been treating gitk, and to a lesser degree various foreign SCM interfaces, so you know the drill. I expect that things that start their life in the contrib/ area to graduate out of contrib/ once they mature, either by becoming projects on their own, or moving to the toplevel directory. On the other hand, I expect I'll be proposing removal of disused and inactive ones from time to time. If you have new things to add to this area, please first propose it on the git mailing list, and after a list discussion proves there are some general interests (it does not have to be a list-wide consensus for a tool targeted to a relatively narrow audience -- for example I do not work with projects whose upstream is svn, so I have no use for git-svn myself, but it is of general interest for people who need to interoperate with SVN repositories in a way git-svn works better than git-svnimport), submit a patch to create a subdirectory of contrib/ and put your stuff there. -jc
