Thanks, I'm not familiar with bash's extensions to parameter
substitution. The completions can also but used under zsh (git-
completion.zsh is pretty much abandoned I think) but it looks like bash
and zsh agree on this expansion.

I don't think "abandoned" is the right characterization—at least, it's
the completion script that Homebrew-installed Git users will get for
Zsh, and it does re-use the Bash completion scripts (which therefore
ought to stay portable between both if possible, otherwise we get
stuff like 8776470cf3 (completion: repair config completion for Zsh,
2025-01-06)). The Zsh script has seen some fixups over time (such as
my own 3c20acdf46 (completion: zsh: stop leaking local cache variable,
2024-04-30)).

Thanks for clarifying that, I'd misunderstood the relationship between 
git-completion.zsh and git-completion.bash.

Best Wishes

Phillip
