Just to let you know this didn't fall through the cracks...

The 4.3.12 release of zsh includes a (more or less) rewrite of _git (the
completion function for git). I guess the guy who did it wasn't aware of
git-annex and therefore didn't re-add support for it.

I'm not sure what the plan is with respect to adding third-party
addons. I guess just adding the old code again would be a feasible
solution (and we can certainly do that with the debian package for the
time being), but for the long run I'd like to discuss this upstream.

Out of curiosity, is there a git-annex completion for bash? And if so,
how does the bash crowd handle such third-party addons?
