Initial Comment:
Hi.

I'm using bash completion from git repo on Archlinux (x86_64), bash (4.1.9(2) -release (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)).

About a 1.5 month ago I noticed that if I type
$ less /diTAB
I get
$ less /dir 
('/dir ')

Though this is Ok if /dir is a file under / it is not Ok if I want to 'less' a file in /dir directory. Previous behavior was:
$ less /diTAB
->
$ less /dir/

Now I have to always to do
$ compopt -o filenames -o dirnames -o plusdirs (less|rm|cp|ln|cat|...)
to get "right" behavior of the programs.

Is this change was intended or I missed something?
