In http://groups- beta.google.com/group/gnu.bash.bug/browse_thread/thread/e0dc6716afe8162d/df a06fd85db708e1 a bug was reported that prevented TAB completion from working properly in Cygwin when the "c:/" synonym for "/cygdrive/c" was used. Because ":" is considered whitespace for completion for setting PATH, it breaks completion when you use c:/.
There was a "workaround" -- quote the ":", which is pretty painful when you have to type it dozens or hundreds of times a day. How often do you set PATH!? The bug was reported in 2002, and the reporter said he had a fix. The bug is still present. Could we reconsider accepting this fix so Cygwin users don't have to fight this hack zillions of times a day?
