[Bug 324505] Re: please do not expand leading tildes

 

@Mike Doherty, Victor Zamanian:  Just checked out bash_completion.  If
you use the master branch (dangerous?) it's fixed, but it's not fixed at
the 1.2 tag.  I was looking for the specific commit that fixed it, but I
gave up.

git clone git://git.debian.org/git/bash-completion/bash-completion.git

Nobody seems to be prepping for a release yet, although the time between
releases seems to be about 6-9 months, and it's been 6 months since 1.2.
So it may be coming in the next several months.  If you must have it,
and you just want instructions, do the following:

git clone git://git.debian.org/git/bash-completion/bash-completion.git
cd bash-completion
git checkout master
sudo cp bash-completion /etc

Then add to your .bashrc, .profile, .bash_profile, whatever:

# Use bash-completion, if available
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
  . /etc/bash_completion
fi

For fun, notice the message attached to SHA
0c4db6eb969892ca282e7d5c8a524f2c062eb42e.  That just made my day.
