[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#968988: zsh: Wrong completion hints for *(c): + and - inverted

[Roman Odaisky]

Package: zsh
Version: 5.8-5
Severity: normal

1. Type: echo *(c
2. Press Tab
3. Observe completion hints which, among other things, suggest the use
of the + and - signs, but these are mislabeled.

The “+” sign is incorrectly labeled “before” while “-” is incorrectly
labeled “since”. In reality, minus means timestamps later than the one
specified, and plus means earlier.
