This output is from an older version of VCS_INFO but I don't see a diff that would have changed anything but line numbers: +vcs_info:52> VCS_INFO_set --nvcs +VCS_INFO_set:5> setopt localoptions noksharrays NO_shwordsplit +VCS_INFO_set:6> local -i i j +VCS_INFO_set:8> [[ --nvcs == --nvcs ]] +VCS_INFO_set:9> [[ '' == -preinit- ]] +VCS_INFO_set:10> i=0 +VCS_INFO_set:11> typeset -gx 'vcs_info_msg_0_=' +VCS_INFO_set:10> i=-1 +VCS_INFO_set:11> typeset -gx 'vcs_info_msg_-1_=' VCS_INFO_set:typeset:11: not valid in this context: vcs_info_msg_-1_ The problem is that when disable-patterns matches the current directory, vcs_info invokes VCS_INFO_set --nvcs, which hits this loop: if [[ $1 == '--nvcs' ]] ; then [[ $2 == '-preinit-' ]] && (( maxexports == 0 )) && (( maxexports = 1 )) for i in {0..$((maxexports - 1))} ; do Because $2 is not "-preeinit-", when maxexports is zero it is never reset to 1 and the "for" loop runs backwards to -1. I don't otherwise know how to reproduce the situation where VCS_INFO_maxexports is never called.

Can't reproduce. What's $ZSH_PATCHLEVEL? Could you try in 'zsh -f' in
a new directory (create a new repository therein)?
Cheers,

Found a(nother?) way. In current HEAD and 'zsh -f', call vcs_info once,
_then_ set «zstyle ':vcs_info:*' enable none», and the error will happen
via the following callsite:
96 if [[ -n ${(M)enabled:#(#i)none} ]] ; then
97 [[ -n ${vcs_info_msg_0_} ]] && VCS_INFO_set --nvcs
98 return 0
99 fi
The documentation of the «nvcsformats» style makes it clear that in the
"no VCS" case vcs_info_msg_0_ should still get set.
I'm not sure, however, what the right code change is. Anyone wants to
jump in?
This is not a regression, and as such not a blocker.
Cheers,
Daniel

Dropping [[ $2 == '-preinit-' ]] && would be the obvious thing, but
I'm not sure why we care about it, so perhaps something more
complicated is required.
