The following is the description of -Q flag of zsh compadd [1]: This flag instructs the completion code not to quote any metacharacters in the words when inserting them into the command line. Let's say there is a file named 'foo bar.txt' in repository, but it's not yet added to the repository. Then the following command triggers a completion: git add fo<Tab> git add 'fo<Tab> git add "fo<Tab> The completion results in bash: git add foo\ bar.txt git add 'foo bar.txt' git add "foo bar.txt" While them in zsh: git add foo bar.txt git add 'foo bar.txt' git add "foo bar.txt" The first one, where the pathname is not enclosed in quotes, should escape the space with a backslash, just like bash completion does. Otherwise, this leads git to think there are two files; foo, and bar.txt. The main cause of this behavior is __gitcomp_file_direct(). The both implementions of bash and zsh are called with an argument 'foo bar.txt', but only bash adds a backslash before a space on command line.
