Some of us avoid the patch names by working mostly using the Emacs interface. But there is competent tab completion for the shell available as well. (For bash. It can be used in zsh as well, but some day I hope to penetrate the zsh completion system and add a native version for it). -- David Kågedal <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ stgit-users mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/stgit-users
