I need further discussion and preferrably a patch. Since I don't use
bash, I don't know anything about how its completion mechanism works and
reading the man page makes me none the wiser.
I'm not an expert on bash-completion either, but here are my thoughts on
what's in .bashrc now. Someone who knows more should comment further.
# Uncomment to turn on programmable completion enhancements.
# Any completions you add in ~/.bash_completion are sourced last.
# [[ -f /etc/bash_completion ]] && . /etc/bash_completion
This is obsolete because (a) /etc/bash_completion has been replaced by
/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion and (b) the latter is already
sourced by /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh.
# COMP_CVS_REMOTE=1
This is probably OK.
# COMP_CONFIGURE_HINTS=1
This is probably OK.
# COMP_TAR_INTERNAL_PATHS=1
I don't think this will have any effect unless it's set *before*
/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion is sourced; so it doesn't
belong in .bashrc now that /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion is
sourced by /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh.
