What is $COMP_WORDBREAKS set to in your shell? In mine it appears to be: " \"'@><=;|&(:" which is the I believe the shell default. Björn Steinbrink (doener on #git) is running bash 3.2.39 from Debian and has the same setting, and the completion works correctly there too. He reports that removing : from COMP_WORDBREAKS will get the behavior you are reporting as broken. I have to say, this sounds to me like you (or some package on your system) modified COMP_WORDBREAKS away from the default that other distributions use and that is what is breaking us here. Since we can have only one setting for this variable in the shell I do not thing it would be a good idea for our completion package to force a specific setting upon the user. Though we could try to detect : in there and if it is not present use the workaround you posted. But I wonder if just asking the user to include : is easier. -- Shawn. -- 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
