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.
Work around this by using a different variable (comp_words) that is
not special to zsh. So now commands that completed correctly before
v1.7.4-rc0~11^2~2 on zsh should be able to complete correctly again.

Sorry, I got carried away (I am happy to see someone has made some
headway in investigating this old bug). How about this?
There is still a "for unknown reasons" in the above explanation.
