He was interested in fixing "--lo<TAB>" to complete "--local". But the line he pointed to in his original message is not the right place for that; it is the site of an unrelated spot which should _also_ be fixed to use "--local", but for a different reason (restricting the variables suggested for "--local --get <TAB>" properly). So yeah. Matthieu's patch is the right thing to do, as it covers both (mine fixed only half of it). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
