Hello.

In zsh 5.2, VCS_info's `nvcsformats' is broken, resp. disfunctional.
It will always evaluate to ''.  Removing the line

  local -a msgs

from Functions/VCS_Info/VCS_INFO_nvcsformats introduced in commit
ae4cf7b7 leads to the wanted behaviour.  I did not fully understand the
sense between the introduced line and the cause for the misbehaviour,
though.

Kind regards, Andreas
