Package: bash-completion
Version: 20080705
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Hi,
When bash-completion is not installed, the leading tilde will not be
expanded on completion.
$ ls ~testuser/testfile
/home/testuser/testfile
$ ls ~testuser/testf[TAB]
=> ~testuser/testfile
However, when bash-completion is installed, the leading tilde will be
expanded on completion because _expand function performs the tilde
expansion. That is slightly annoying.
$ ls ~testuser/testf[TAB]
=> /home/testuser/testfile
IMHO, the tilde expansion in _expand seems needless because compgen
correctly handles leading tildes.
I suggest following patch.
