Description Jan 2005-07-23 02:36:59 UTC

With bash-completion enabled, completion is blocked for GNU tar and filenames 
ending on ".tar". It only works for .tgz, .tar.bz2, ...

Version: Latest stable as of 20050723 is app-shells/bash-completion-20050121-r9
The Changelog for 20050721 (~x86) doesn't list this as fixed.

This quick fix may not be particularly beautiful or complete.
It works for me, though. ;)

Reproducible: Always

3.

It is indeed fixed in 20050721.  I've backported the fixes and added
20050121-r10 (which remains stable).  Thanks for the bug.
