Pattern problem in the new zsh 5.0.3

Pattern problem in the new zsh 5.0.3

[Hong Xu]

Hi all,

After I upgraded to zsh 5.0.3, I found a few issues. It looks like they 
are both related to the glob pattern.

1. When I tried to use "git push origin <tab>" to perform 
autocompletion, the following error occurs:

     __git_complete_remote_or_refspec:33: bad pattern: +*
     __git_complete_remote_or_refspec:33: bad pattern: +*
     __git_complete_remote_or_refspec:33: bad pattern: +*

2. When I tried to use rvm (see 
https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues/2431), something similar occurs:

|     __rvm_clean_path:12: bad pattern: *:/Users/hong/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448@global/bin:*|


I'm not familiar with the rvm codebase, so I cannot afford any details 
on that. But my point is, it seems that something related to pattern has 
broken in the new version.

Can anyone look into this, please?

Thanks!
Hong

I need to mention that these problems don't exist in 5.0.2.

Already reported over on the zsh-workers list; sorry, perhaps I should
have mailed zsh-users.  I think Peter is talking about an early 5.0.4
release because of this.

There's a patch you can try in:

  http://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2013/msg01166.html

For git, you can work around the problem by patching the _git completion
file, with the patch in:
