My mercurial tab completion is also messed up, but not in quite the same way. Some commands, like 'hg log ...' are fine. 'hg add ...' has problems: if I have one possibility, I get the filename with unescaped spaces. If I have multiple possibilities, it *doesn't* work correctly for me. The first time I press tab I get the common prefix, and what happens next depends on whether the common prefix contains a space. If it contains a space, weird things happen when I press tab more times because once the prefix has been echoed everything after the space is considered to be a new filename.
I'm pretty sure this is a problem in Natty's bash completion rather than Mercurial's bash completion file -- I have tried two new versions (1.9.0 and 1.9.1) from PPAs, and the 1.9.0 PPA version was working correctly in Lucid and in Maverick. If I don't source /etc/bash_completion in .bashrc, I get saner behaviour with mercurial, but as far as I understand that's turning off all the custom bash completion entirely, and I no longer have useful functionality like 'hg add ...' only completing files not already under version control, and so on. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460239 Title: bash-completition wrong escapes special characters for mercurial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/460239/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
