Uh, I’ve totally missed this.  I guess a zstyle would work, but
couldn’t one check if completion is being done by partial-path?

I’m sorry, but that’s about as much input as I’ll likely be able to
provide.  I have a negative amount of time available to allocate to
_git.  It seemed like Torstein and others had picked up the pieces?
