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-quiltimport

GIT-QUILTIMPORT(1)						    Git Manual							GIT-QUILTIMPORT(1)

NAME

       git-quiltimport - Applies a quilt patchset onto the current branch

SYNOPSIS

       git quiltimport [--dry-run | -n] [--author <author>] [--patches <dir>]

DESCRIPTION

       Applies a quilt patchset onto the current Git branch, preserving the patch boundaries, patch order, and patch descriptions present in the
       quilt patchset.

       For each patch the code attempts to extract the author from the patch description. If that fails it falls back to the author specified with
       --author. If the --author flag was not given the patch description is displayed and the user is asked to interactively enter the author of
       the patch.

       If a subject is not found in the patch description the patch name is preserved as the 1 line subject in the Git description.

OPTIONS

       -n, --dry-run
	   Walk through the patches in the series and warn if we cannot find all of the necessary information to commit a patch. At the time of
	   this writing only missing author information is warned about.

       --author Author Name <Author Email>
	   The author name and email address to use when no author information can be found in the patch description.

       --patches <dir>
	   The directory to find the quilt patches and the quilt series file.

	   The default for the patch directory is patches or the value of the $QUILT_PATCHES environment variable.
