Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.35
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/bts
I was surprised when this failed (simplifying):
$ bts $(printf 'tag %s + pending , ' 1 7 18 24) '# comment'
++ printf 'tag %s + pending , ' 1 7 18 24
+ bts tag 1 + pending , tag 7 + pending , tag 18 + pending , tag 24 +
pending , '# comment'
bts: Couldn't find a unique match for the command # comment!
Run bts --help for a list of valid commands.
It turns out bts is confused by the trailing comma, because this works:
$ bts tag 1 + pending , tag 7 + pending , tag 18 + pending , tag 24 +
pending '# comment'
It would be nice if bts could just ignore that trailing comma, because
then I can use printf or whatever to construct a sequence of commands
(as I tried to do above).
