I'm sorry for that. I did a command like

  git blame -- path/to/_git | cut -d' ' -f2,3 | sort | uniq

on my Git's zsh repository which is obviously not approppriate. :-/

I believe this could easily be solved by versionning the file (yes,
by adding a "# vXYZ"). Perhaps a more explicit header could help :

  # vXYZ

  # If you intend to contribute to maintaining this file, please
  # increase the version number and fill the patches to both zsh and git
  # projects at <addresses>. Thanks!

The worst cases for me would be to either
  have two unrelated zsh completion files in each project
or
  maintaining a public (possibly sent to the Git project) completion
  file downstream to the zsh one
.

Thoughts?
