Actually, I don't think this is something styles are right for. There's
no context sensitivity required, nor is there anything that needs to be
configured.

This is very much like `compinit' looking at the first line of _* files
from $fpath. That's probably not what all completions should be doing,
but _git isn't quite the common completion either. And this solution is
pretty straight forward.  So, unless there's some corner case I am
missing, I don't see why it should be changed to something that's (as I
pointed out earlier) less suited.
