Color coding breaks ls?

I found a script that almost takes care of a bit of clunkiness in git. I say almost, because when I use it, after it does what it's supposed to do, it breaks my shell, or something. After I use it, I can't use wildcards any more. I tried to run `jshint *.js` as I do a million times a day, but it says it can't find any such files. `ls` does the same thing. I can do `ls` by itself, and everything is there, but `ls *.js` or `ls *` just says the files aren't there. I tried googling, but to tell the truth, I don't have a clear idea of what to google for. "bash script breaks ls" didn't turn up anything useful. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it?

Code:

green=`tput setaf 2`
reset=`tput sgr0`

git-branch-list() {
  set -f
  git branch | while read line; do
    current="  "
    name=${line##\* }   ## removes leading * for current

    if [ ! "$name" = "$line" ]; then
      current="${green}* "
    fi

    description=`git config branch.$name.description`

    if [ "$description" != "" ]; then
      description=" : $description"
    fi

    echo "${reset}${current}${name}${description}${reset}"
  done
}

git-sh-setup

GIT-SH-SETUP(1) 						    Git Manual							   GIT-SH-SETUP(1)

NAME

       git-sh-setup - Common git shell script setup code

SYNOPSIS

       . "$(git --exec-path)/git-sh-setup"

DESCRIPTION

       This is not a command the end user would want to run. Ever. This documentation is meant for people who are studying the Porcelain-ish
       scripts and/or are writing new ones.

       The git sh-setup scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using .) by other shell scripts to set up some variables pointing at the normal git
       directories and a few helper shell functions.

       Before sourcing it, your script should set up a few variables; USAGE (and LONG_USAGE, if any) is used to define message given by usage()
       shell function. SUBDIRECTORY_OK can be set if the script can run from a subdirectory of the working tree (some commands do not).

       The scriptlet sets GIT_DIR and GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY shell variables, but does not export them to the environment.

FUNCTIONS

       die
	   exit after emitting the supplied error message to the standard error stream.

       usage
	   die with the usage message.

       set_reflog_action
	   set the message that will be recorded to describe the end-user action in the reflog, when the script updates a ref.

       git_editor
	   runs an editor of user's choice (GIT_EDITOR, core.editor, VISUAL or EDITOR) on a given file, but error out if no editor is specified
	   and the terminal is dumb.

       is_bare_repository
	   outputs true or false to the standard output stream to indicate if the repository is a bare repository (i.e. without an associated
	   working tree).

       cd_to_toplevel
	   runs chdir to the toplevel of the working tree.

       require_work_tree
	   checks if the repository is a bare repository, and dies if so. Used by scripts that require working tree (e.g.  checkout).

       get_author_ident_from_commit
	   outputs code for use with eval to set the GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE variables for a given commit.
