git completion problems

git completion problems

[Will Gray]

I have three remote branches: "origin/master", "origin/production",
and "origin/production-dev".  When I enter "o", it will complete
"origin".  If I add "/pr", it will not complete "origin/production".
However, if I enter "o/pr" it will complete "origin/production".

I'm using Zsh 5.1.1 and have downloaded the latest
Completion/Unix/_git to first entry in my $path.

Sorry, that this didn't get looked at sooner. It arrived at a time when I
was fairly busy.

I think this is caused by essentially the same set of matches - the
branches - getting added more than once with different matching control
specs. They get added once with "r:|/=* r:|=*", once with no match spec
and there's also a call to _multi_parts for file completion thrown into
the mix. It'd be good to know if the following patch fixes the issue for
you. Given certain matcher style settings, it may not. This just makes
it more consistent.
