[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#623562: /etc/bash_completion.d/sh: please provide simple file completion for sh

[Uwe Kleine-König]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.3-1
Severity: normal
File: /etc/bash_completion.d/sh

Hello,

some time ago our system admin updated our development server and since
then one of my workflows became harder. It's like the following:

do that once:
	$ echo "very complicated build command" > refresh
	$ echo "yet another command" >> refresh

and then I just call

	sh refresh

to get things going.

With the current bash completion

	sh ref<tab>

doesn't complete ref to refresh though the match is unique.
For now I'm adding

	complete -r sh

in my .bashrc which makes the completion work for me again.

Best regards
Uwe
