This fell through the cracks here, sorry about that. I've spoken to
Steve and we're happy to relicense it according to zsh's license.

debugcomplete only gives command names and available options. It
doesn't have any additional semantics. The completion script included
here is very context-sensitive. It knows how to complete URLs to
foreign repositories, tag names, differentiates between file states,
etc. In short, it's much more powerful. But I will again reiterate,
I'm no zsh hacker, so the script is probably doing a number of thinks
stupidly. Feedback is welcome!

I've attached the current version.
