Overlong line, lack of sign-off.

I am not a zsh user, and I do not know how reliable $ZSH_NAME can be
taken as an indication that we are running zsh and have already
found a usable git-completion-.bash script.

I think what the proposed log message refers to as "unsets" is this
part of the script:

        ...
        zstyle -s ":completion:*:*:git:*" script script
        if [ -z "$script" ]; then
                local -a locations
                local e
                locations=(
                        $(dirname ${funcsourcetrace[1]%:*})/git-completion.bash
                        ...
                        )
                for e in $locations; do
                        test -f $e && script="$e" && break
                done
        fi
        ZSH_VERSION='' . "$script"
        ...

If your ZSH_VERSION is empty, doesn't it indicate that the script
did not find a usable git-completion.bash script (to which it
outsources the bulk of the completion work)?  I do agree segfaulting
is not a friendly way to tell you that your setup is lacking to make
it work, but I have a feeling that what you are seeing is an
indication of a bigger problem, which will be sweeped under the rug
with this patch but without getting fixed...
