git add Autocomplete with Zsh and oh-my-zsh and Ambiguity

Question

I'm a new user of zsh and oh-my-zsh. The git completions are really nice, but one that really drives me nuts is the "git add" autocomplete. Currently what happens if I type "git add " is it does what I expect: it tries to autocomplete but only with the modified files in the working tree. However, if I type enough to disambiguate which file I'm looking for, I would expect the completion to simply finish the rest of the file name, but it doesn't; it pauses at each directory, requiring an additional to complete the full filename.

I've recorded an asciiio screencast to demonstrate the problem here: http://ascii.io/a/4457

Answer 1

While less than ideal, the results are the same. If directory1/somedir/somefile.txt is the only file in directory1/somedir that has changed, then ga directory1/somedir and typing ga directory1/somedir/somefile.txt will have the exact same effect.

Basically, you can safely ignore any weirdness.
