There is now bash 4.3-rc2, which allows show-all-if-ambiguous and menu-
complete-display-prefix to be used at the same time.

However, it seems that bash completes directory names with ending /
symbol. My original patch completed directories without the / so that
user can type / and then push tab to indicate that he/she would like
enter the directory and then continue browsing there.

With bash 4.3-rc2, I am not sure how to continue browsing into a
directory which is shown as an completion.

I sent a question to upstream if there is an option to prevent bash from
writing / at the end of directory name completions when browsing.
