Hey, you can talk to me about it. I don't know the entire history of things, but I've seen a few emails in which Felipe causes some unpleasantness on the list (so yes, I'm roughly aware of his strengths and weaknesses). I'm just an unbiased observer, and want to work towards the common good. Now, I'm a shell-scripting beginner and do not have the expertise to fully evaluate zsh's completer versus git.git's completer. From my untrained eyes, zsh's completer looks more complete and comprehensive but git.git's completer looks terse and less intimidating. There is definitely a noticeable difference in speed: git.git's completer is much faster, and there's no doubt about that. I want to work on the completer without fundamentally difficult problems (because I can't fix those fundamentally difficult problems). Speed seems to be a big pain point in zsh's completer, and that seems to be a very difficult problem to solve (I saw a few list emails about it). However, it looks like we can gradually make git.git's completer more comprehensive. That's all I really have. Can you help me out, and tell me more? I would really like for us all to work on one completer.
