Hi,
To reproduce the bug. Just create a directory with a ~ (mkdir
-p /tmp/bad~dir). Then when you do a ":chdir /tmp/bad~dir", an error
is raised "E79: Cannot expand wildcards".
As a side effect it is not possible to use a tags file in the bad~dir
or below (/tmp/bad~dir/tags) because it will no be seen by vim.
Note I have not tested all shell but the bug appears with the tsch
shell (and not zsh for example). So you must use this option "set
shell=/bin/tcsh\ -f".
Please find attached a patch that seems solve the problem not sure it
is the good solution (and works in all situations). Maybe a solution
will be to escaped ~ like '\~' before sending to the tcsh shell.
Note: Tcsh debian version is 6.14.00-7
Best Regards,
Gregory
