Here is an update: Tonight I kicked the following series towards zsh-workers: <http://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2011/msg00954.html> The first patch from that series pretty much gives you bash-like behaviour out of the box, which should be enough to close this bug, once it's included (I didn't commit any of the patches yet, but I will unless someone complains loudly). However, the second patch allows for a *lot* more: You can just drop a `_git-annex' function file somewhere into `$fpath'. Then zsh% git a<tab> would suggest `annex' as one of the possibilities (if `git-annex' is found in `$path'). The `_git-annex' function could then handle completion for `annex' in depth. zsh% git annex --<tab> zsh% git annex <tab> zsh% git annex add <tab> ...could all be handled appropriately. Such a file could be maintained with annex (in which case you'd have to drop it into `$fpath' - since 4.3.12-1 that could be `/usr/share/zsh/vendor-completions/'). Or it could be maintained upstream like `_git-buildpackage' is. In any case, here is a start for _git-annex: [snip] #compdef git-annex #desc:managing files while ignoring their content local state line context local -A opt_args local -a arguments arguments=( '--force[force something]' '--fast[don'\''t be slow]' '--verbose[tell me more]' ': :->command' '*:: :->subcmd' ) _arguments -C $arguments case $state in (command) local -a cmds cmds=( add:'add files to the annex' drop:'useful description after the colon' get map move status ) _describe -t commands command cmds ;; (subcmd) case ${line[1]} in (map|status) _message 'No more arguments' ;; (*) _path_files ;; esac ;; esac [snap] I've got no idea of what git-annex does, so the above is just based on skimming through <http://git-annex.branchable.com/git-annex/>. But I think it already handles the vast majority of required cases. They just need to be added by someone.
