Autocomplete "works", in so far that if you type 0<TAB>, it will autocomplete up to 000 and then ring the terminal bell, at which point I'll type say, 1<TAB>, and then if there are previous *.patch files, it will ring the terminal bell again, and then if you type <TAB> a second time, it will list the possible autocompletes. I will also say that since of "rm -f <pattern includes a '*'>" is too easy to accidentally screwup and delete something I would care about, my solution is "git format-patch -o /tmp/p ...", since then I can clear out the files by typing "rm -r /tmp/p". Cheers, - Ted P.S. Also note that "git format-patch" will automatically create /tmp/p if it doesn't exist, unlike how b4 works with the -o option.
