I only get 'git --'. It probably depends on your ~/.zshrc

I'm trying it like this:

  ZDOTDIR=/tmp/empty-home zsh /tmp/complete-bart 'git --'

The same with my version works fine.

Probably. The symptom I experienced is that the command never ends,
apparently because the end marker never arrives.

However, I'm trying right now with something as low as 10, and it
still hangs. So I probably added that comment just to highlight that
anything above 1000 is going to fail regardless.

Cheers.
