Description Dan Fego 2009-03-24 18:04:22 UTC

Prior to upgrading to version 20081219-r1, bash-completion for git worked just fine. That is, when I typed git <TAB><TAB>, git commands were given. Now, filenames are shown, which looks like it's falling back on something else.

I just reverted to version 20060301, and completion works here.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install app-shells/bash-completion-20081219-r1
2. Go to a git repo (not sure if you need to be in one)
3. Type git <TAB><TAB>
Actual Results:  
Filenames in the directory are shown.

Expected Results:  
Git command options (commit, etc.) should be shown.

Which suggests that you didn't enable the b-c module properly.

Please show the output of ls -l /etc/bash_completion.d/ & eselect bashcomp list

As an additional note, when I reverted, I re-did the thing about sourcing /etc/profile.d/bash-completion from my .bashrc, then when I upgraded, removed it as per the instructions. I also tried leaving it in, but it doesn't seem to help.

Oh, you still need to source /etc/profile.d/bash-completion.sh, do you do that?

I do now. That fixes the problem. Ah... Okay, after reading the instructions *yet again* in the elog notice: "if you use non-login shells..." -- I misread that.

My bad. Well, I'm glad this isn't a bug.

No worries.
