I've found out about this 'declare -F' thing about two hours ago (; However. I thought this should actually "Just Work" for aliases, too. e.g. Junio could use the following completion function to get 'git log's options for his lgm alias: _git_lgm () { _git_log } Unfortunately, it doesn't work at all. In _git() first we have 'lgm' in $command, which is ok, but then comes this alias handling thing local expansion=$(__git_aliased_command "$command") [ "$expansion" ] && command="$expansion" which writes '!sh' into $command, and that doesn't look quite right for me, although I admit that I can't seem to figure out how this __git_aliased_command() is supposed to work (so much about knowing bash ;). Any insight?
