I am not sure we should bend over backwards to people courting disaster. Completion does not add double slashes, and that's the most common cause for spurious slashes. And I don't know an equally straightforward way to remove multiple slashes at the end. do orig_namespace="$OPTARG";OPTARG="${OPTARG%/}/" while test "X${orig_namespace}" != "X${OPTARG}" is not really all too pretty. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum - 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
