[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#684199: Infinite loop of "bash: compopt: -o: option requires an argument"

[Anthony DeRobertis]

Package: bash-completion, subversion
Version: 1:2.0-1
Severity: normal

(Not sure which package, bash-completion or subversion, has this bug...)

$ mkdir -p test/{a,b,c,d,e}
$ cd test
$ for d in *; do svn merge <TAB>
bash: compopt: -o: option requires an argument
compopt: usage: compopt [-o|+o option] [-DE] [name ...]
bash: compopt: -o: option requires an argument
compopt: usage: compopt [-o|+o option] [-DE] [name ...]
bash: compopt: -o: option requires an argument
compopt: usage: compopt [-o|+o option] [-DE] [name ...]
bash: compopt: -o: option requires an argument
compopt: usage: compopt [-o|+o option] [-DE] [name ...]
bash: compopt: -o: option requires an argument
compopt: usage: compopt [-o|+o option] [-DE] [name ...]
bash: compopt: -o: option requires an argument

It appears that actually all that is needed is:

$ do svn <TAB>

But of course, just "svn <TAB>" works fine. Its the presence of the word
"do" in front that causes issues, AFAICT.
