Yeah that's what I had in mind (though I still have no idea if it's hard to do). Let's drop this series then. I'll keep this <TAB> thing in my backlog and hopefully will fix it soon. I'll have to read git-completion.bash carefully for another series anyway. And I have a feeling that "git --completion-helper" needs to tell git-completion.bash "this argument takes a path" before we start to expand stuff. -- Duy
