Summary: DBTS 489258: ssh completion only looks for executables  
Distribution: None
Originally reported in: Debian BTS
Milestone: None
Status: None
Original bug number: 489258


Initial Comment:
Asking for completion on "ssh user at host tar -zxf " looks for executables
in the path: looks like the ssh rule is not flexible enough to be useful
here.  Not sure it is feasible (or even that it would generally make
sense) to attempt getting a completion from a remote bash ?

At the very least, it would be no less useful, but less expensive, to
fallback to file completion.

Message:
How this supposed to work? i'm not sure bash-completion should login to the remote host and fetch some information from there. I think this bug should be closed as "won't fix".
