I applied your patch to play around a bit, and it seems to work (but, of course, I have not tried all the affected commands). I agree with the comments and suggestiong of Brian and Jonathan. The current commit message covers only the symptoms of a bug this patch attempts to fix, but it should also explain its cause and how the patch is supposed to fix it. Unfortunately, I can only comment on the latter: if these new functions are good enough for the folks over at bash-completion project, then they should be good enough for us (; I'm still puzzled that the only relevant entry I could find in the bash NEWS file is: i. The programmable completion code now uses the same set of characters as readline when breaking the command line into a list of words. Yet, as I mentioned in one of the previous threads, I have two machines with different bash versions (3.2 and 4.1) but with the exact same set of characters in COMP_WORDBREAKS, and they show different behavior. > Bash: 3 > output: > $ git log --pretty=<tab><tab> > email full medium raw > format: fuller oneline short > > Bash: 4 > output: > $ git log --pretty=<tab><tab> > .bash_logout .local/ > .bash_profile Music/ > --More-- > > Signed-off-by: Peter van der Does <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > @@ -556,11 +799,14 @@ __git_complete_revlist () > > __git_complete_remote_or_refspec () > { > - local cmd="${COMP_WORDS[1]}" > - local cur="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}" > + local git_comp_words git_comp_cword > + __reassemble_comp_words_by_ref : git_comp_words git_comp_cword I suggest using '_get_comp_words_by_ref -n ":" words cword' here. First, for consistency's sake, because you use _get_comp_words_by_ref() everywhere else, too (almost). Second, I'm worried about the double underscore prefix in the function name, because it usually indicates something that is not supposed to be used directly from outside. Even the bash-completion project's scripts prefer _get_comp_words_by_ref() to __reassemble_comp_words_by_ref().
