Modify git-completion.bash to work with both bash and zsh. Most code works fine, but a few things need tweaking. Where possible, code is written in such a way that both shells interpret fine, but some areas need special-casing.

declare -F
    Zsh doesn't have the same 'declare -F' as bash, but 'declare -f'
    is the same, and it works just as well for our purposes.
${var:2}
    Zsh uses $var[3,-1] to trim the first two characters.  There is no
    way to write cross-shell code to accomplish this, so we must wrap
    this in a check for zsh.
for (( n=1; "$n" ... ))
    Zsh does not allow "$var" in arithmetic loops.  Instead, pre-compute
    the endpoint and use the variables without $'s or quotes.
shopt
    Zsh uses 'setopt', which has a different syntax than 'shopt.  Since
    'shopt' is used infrequently in git-completion, we provide
    a bare-bones emulation.
emulate -L bash
KSH_TYPESET
    Zsh offers bash emulation, which turns on a set of features to
    closely resemble bash; in particular, this turns on SH_WORDSPLIT.
    We also need to set KSH_TYPESET, to fix "local var=$(echo foo bar)"
    issues.

The last set of options are turned on only in _git and _gitk. Some of the sub-functions may not work correctly if called directly.

Thanks for letting me know.

It appears that my initial message didn't go through. I used the --to argument with 'git format-patch', but 'git send-email' didn't seem to parse it properly. It stuck an empty "To:" line at the normal position, and then put an additional "To: git@vger.kernel.org" at the bottom of the headers. Gmail must not have liked this.

So, here's another shot. I am not too familiar with how the completion works, so the changed parts ought to be tested on both zsh and bash. Any suggestions on how to do so - or results from doing so - would be greatly appreciated.

I tried to make as few changes to the main part of the script as possible, so that zsh compatibility does not get in the way of normal development. If anyone has any suggestions for improvement, please let me know.

If this should be split into separate patches, I can do that. Each change is so small, I thought it would make more sense to roll them all into one.
