    Yes, you're right, even though I still prefer when `git ci <tab>' shows
and completes all the files immediately, not forcing me into first
deleting the completed slash and then continue completing the files in
the directory... But I guess Alexey's version might actually be more
consistent with Zsh's behaviour in that regard in other similar
situations. So, sorry for that point.

    Unfortunately, there seem to be other problems:
When I enter the doc directory in the above structure, `git commit
<tab>' only shows:

.. tags

instead of all the other changed files/directories (displayed relative
to the current subdirectory). Wasn't exactly that the problem we are
solving here?

P.S.: Well now I think about it, of course you can just continue to
"manually" complete the `..', so in my case I have to first complete
../, then delete and recomplete the '/' or add and delete a space, then
continue similarly to get to the other files. Maybe it is the behaviour
you expect and like, but for me it's really suboptimal. Maybe it's just
some problem in my setup? Anyway, with my solution, git ci <tab> always
completes and shows all the files relative to the current directory,
i.e. in the form git-commit will accept, *immediately*. I still very
much prefer that behaviour.
