git log -9 <TAB>

should go through the 'first-commit-ranges-or-files' branch because at
that position the first argument is expected.

Without this patch it goes through the 'commit-ranges-or-files' branch,
because '-9' is wrongly treated as the first non-option argument:


functions -T _git-log; git log -9 <TAB>

without this patch:
+_git-log:16> case commit-ranges-or-files (first-commit-ranges-or-files)
+_git-log:16> case commit-ranges-or-files (commit-ranges-or-files)

+_git-log:45> return ret

with this patch:
+_git-log:16> case first-commit-ranges-or-files (first-commit-ranges-or-files)
+_git-log:18> [[ -n '' ]]
+_git-log:21> _alternative commit-ranges::__git_commit_ranges 'cached-files::__git_tree_files ${PREFIX:-.} HEAD'

+_git-log:45> return ret


This patch makes _arguments ignore any words of the form '-[0-9]#' to
work around that.
