Directory structure on target:
/home/martin/directory 1/directory 2/file.txt
Type:
scp target:/home/martin/directory<TAB><TAB>
Expected:
scp target:/home/martin/directory 1/directory 2/
Actual:
scp target:/home/martin/directory\\\ 1/
To summarise, it is impossible to do any further autocompletion once the
\\\ escape sequence has been given.
This is caused by the incorrect line:
# unescape spaces
path=${path//\\\\\\\\ / }
in contrib/ssh
It should, instead, read:
# unescape spaces
path=${path//\\\\}
This is fixed in bash-completion version control, but next release is
not scheduled for quite some time (AFAIK).
