They don't perform any version checks as far as I can see in their implementation. Almost all commands that the ZSH team maintains completions for, don't perform version checks and the maintainers of the commands themselves don't bother taking responsibility for that and usually users don't complain. If a ZSH user notices a new command or new option missing from such a completion function, they can submit a patch to the ZSH project, and setup a workaround until there is a new ZSH release with their patch included. Besides the option of living with this potential version mismatch imperfection, you could also ask the ZSH team to remove their implementation and start maintain their implementation here. However, they might object because not all distributions will accommodate to this change in both projects... I personally think that Git is a stable enough project that the commands and options don't deviate enough between the different versions of it, So it'd be easier for you and for the distributions if you'd let go of your implementation.
