Git's completion script already implements this function.  Why
override it here?

Ah, ok, I think I got it.

Of course, the words on the command line must be specified somehow to
test completion functions.  But the two implementations of
_get_comp_words_by_ref() for bash and zsh in the completion script
take the words on the command line from different variables, so we
need a common implementation to test completion functions both on bash
and zsh.  Hence the _get_comp_words_by_ref() above, which takes the
words on the command line and their count from $_words and $_cword,
respectively, and run_completion() below, which fills those variables
with its arguments.
