ok thanks for the detailed explanation. Unfortunately I don't know enough about bash-completion. If you could start a discussion on the gentoo-dev email list that would be great. At least we'll be consistent then. (In reply to comment #1) > Unfortunately I don't know enough about bash-completion.

I'm not a Gentoo developer, not subscribed to that list, so I don't fell much like starting a discussion there. I also believe the number of people likely to give input on this to be rather small, i.e. those maintaining bash-completion. If you disagree, feel free to start a discussion, pointing at these bugs here. I think I found a solution after some chatting on freenode. I just filed bug 267788 about it, with many references back here. I hope that bug will be assigned to the bash-completion maintainers, and that they will incorporate my suggestion. If they do, patching monotone to use this should be pretty easy. As a side note: the steps to reproduce outlined in comment 0 don't seem to work for me today with bash 4.0, as it splits words after the colon in "b:". I could reproduce the issue and verify my solution using bash 3.1, though. seems like this is being handled elsewhere. sorry for the lack of understanding of what can be done. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 267788 *** (In reply to comment #3) > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 267788 *** You've just duped a "minor" bug report to an enhancement request. Doesn't feel right to me. Furthermore, bug 267788 is about introducing a new function "_with_shopt" to /usr/share/bash-completion/.pre while one fix for this bug here would require the monotone completion script to make use of that function. In this case, having this bug here depend on that one would be preferable. Once bug 267788 gets implemented, I will gladly offer a patch for monotone, making use of this new functionality. As that bug is waiting for bash-completion upstream to accept the patch first, and as upstream hasn't posted a single comment on the report yet, I'm quite unsure about the timescale we're dealing with. |
