Assuming your current working directory is the root of your git pull,

    fpath=($PWD/{Completion{,/**/_*(N:h)},Functions/*(/N)} $fpath)
    unfunction -m _git\*
    autoload -Uz $^fpath/_git*(N:t)

will probably do it.  There's a similar trick for module_path if you
need to test compiled modules, but it also requires creating module
aliases to satisfy inter-module naming dependencies.
