 #
 # You could even create a function _git-foo() to handle specific completion
 # for that command.
+#
+# When _git does not know a given sub-command (say `bar'), it falls back to
+# completing file names for all arguments to that sub command. I.e.:
+#
+#     % git bar <tab>
+#
+# ...will complete file names. If you do *not* want that fallback to be used,
+# use the `use-fallback' style like this:
+#
+#     % zstyle ':completion:*:*:git*:*' use-fallback false
 
 # TODO: There is still undocumented configurability in here.
