There are not only one but two Zsh completion scripts for Git:
- Ours, which is essentially a wrapper around our Bash completion
script, so it shouldn't work for your alias, and it has to be
installed manually, so I doubt that this is what you tried.
- One that's shipped with Zsh, with all the bells and whistles that
Zsh's completion system offers. It's not maintained by the Git
project, and I have no idea how it works, but I guess it works
sufficiently differently to make your use case work.
