Bash Version: 4.0
Patch Level: 33
Release Status: release
Description:
When completing options for git I used to be able to get a list
of pretty formats by completing the --pretty= option. The option
ends in an equals sign, so the completion looks for the word
--pretty= in the COMP_WORDS array. It turns out that --pretty and =
are considered two separate words in bash4, but considered one word
in bash3. Is this intended?
I know I'm reporting this on patch level 33, but I've seen it on
patch level 35 too.
Repeat-By:
1) Install git's completion script (in contrib/completion of
http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.6.5.6.tar.gz)
2) Try to complete
git show --pretty=<TAB><TAB>
and you get a list of filenames instead of a list of pretty formats.
