Public bug reported:
There seem to be a problem when trying to autocomplete some git commands
due to a bad prefix detection for "git ls-files".
If you check the new version of this package in the Arch repos, along
with other updates you can find this file update:
> /usr/share/zsh/functions/Completion/Unix/_git
------
diff --git i/git.zsh w/git.zsh
index cf95bcd..745a57c 100644
--- i/git.zsh

If this is not applied, the command basically becomes:

This affects the "git add<tab>" command autocompletion and potentially others.
PS: This seems to be in "zsh-commons" but the report form did not allow
me to select it
