The bash completion installed by dev-lang/R doesn't work for files/directories with spaces. See Bug 417717 for more details.

Created attachment 315943 [details] Patch for the R.bash_completion file in R-2.10.1 I attach a patch for the bash completion of R-2.10.1. I looked a bit at the SVN trunk, and the relevant parts of the file seem unchanged. Tell me if you have trouble applying the patch to the current version.

Thanks for the patch. Could you please confirm the issue is not only with R-2.10.1, but also also with other versions? Could you please give us a hint on how to test wether the issue is fixed or still there? Sébastien, one thing we may want to do is not touch any of the old and/or stable versions, fix R-2.15.0 if necessary, stabilize it, and get rid of all versions older than that. What do you think? Assuming we go for that I'll adapt Marco's patch for 2.15 and I'll push it. Thanks, Denis.
Type mkdir 'folder with spaces' R CMD COMPILE folder<TAB> and it should work with the patch and not otherwise. I don't know with which versions of R this issue appears, but you can try the above to check.

What do you think? although i doubt many users are still on R-2.10.1, i would not touch it and aim at stabilizing 2.15.1 since fixing all test issues on 2.15.0 might not be worth it. marco, make sure you submit your patch to the url in comment #2. thanks.
I filed a bugreport upstream: http://code.google.com/p/rcompletion/issues/detail?id=1&thanks=1&ts=1340390740 I included the patch there.
