Yes, I got used to > do cd a<tab>/ar<tab>. > Pavel Although I really don't want to spend time arguing with you but still ...... if you had a neighbor with same name as your friend your strategy most likely would be to force one of them to change names - kind of seems funny and stupid. Having said that, despite all the ranting so far, you've not managed to comment on a single line of the actual code, which is more funny and stupid. So please stop blathering and do some constructive work. I won't go around asking ARC name to be changed because someone's Tab completion doesn't work anymore. And I'm sorry dude, that alone won't prevent the port from being merged. -Vineet -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
