The zsh script expects the bash completion script to be available so that might be the issue here. To reproduce this is what I do. First, a sparse checkout: # mkdir ~/git # cd ~/git # git init # git remote add origin git@xxxxxxxxxx:git/git.git # git config core.sparseCheckout true # mkdir .git/info # echo contrib/completion >> .git/info/sparse-checkout # git pull origin master --depth 1 After that I simply link the zsh script to _git: # cd git/contrib/completion # ln git-completion.zsh _git And add the following to a new .zshrc file: autoload -U compinit; compinit autoload -U bashcompinit; bashcompinit fpath=(~/git/contrib/completion $fpath) And that appears to be enough to reproduce: # git<tab> git/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash:354: read-only variable: QISUFFIX zsh:12: command not found: ___main zsh:15: _default: function definition file not found _dispatch:70: bad math expression: operand expected at `/usr/bin/g...' zsh: segmentation fault zsh ~rick On 7 June 2018 at 07:48, Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > SZEDER Gábor wrote: > >> Other Bash versions, notably 4.4.19 on macOS via homebrew (i.e. a >> newer version on the same platform) and 3.2.25 on CentOS (i.e. a >> slightly earlier version, though on a different platform) are not >> affected.
