Thanks for the quick reply.
I understood your reasoning, and I've just committed the change which fixes
this in our Bzr repository. If you don't want to wait long for a new upload,
here's a quick patch:
--- bash_completion
+++ bash_completion.new
@@ -4154,7 +4154,7 @@
COMPREPLY=( $( $1 --help 2>&1 | sed -e '/--/!d' \
-e 's/.*\(--[-A-Za-z0-9]\+=\?\).*/\1/' | \
command grep "^$cur" | sort -u ) )
- elif [[ "$1" == @(mk|rm)dir ]]; then
+ elif [[ "$1" == rmdir ]]; then
_filedir -d
else
_filedir
Please be warned that mkdir will fail if trying to create a directory called as
an existing filename.
Kindly,
David
