Commit a31e626 (completion: optimize refs completion) introduced a regression for ZSH users: ref names were completed with a quoted trailing space (i.e. "git checkout ma" completes to "git checkout master\ "). The space is convenient for bash users since we use "-o nospace", but a quoted space is worse than nothing. The absence of trailing space for ZSH is a long-standing issue, that this patch is not fixing. We just fix the regression by not appending a space when the shell is ZSH.
