Omit `.exe' on completion

2011-03-01 Thread Frederik
Hey there! I wonder if it's possible to omit `.exe' when completing a command in cygwin shell. Now `mkd' completes to `mkdir.exe', but completion to `mkdir' would be nicer imho... Thanks & Regards, Fred -- Frederik freak.f...@gmail.com -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.

Hi Cygwin friends and users, I just released 1.7.8-1. This release fixes a bunch of bugs and a moderate amount of new features. Most notably is perhaps the return of the ability to delete empty directories which are current working directory of other (or the own) Cygwin processes. Using an unf

I just ran into the dreaded winmm.dll error 487 again from git using 1.7.8. This time, the error doesn't occur with "git log" but happens when running "git svn rebase --all". I guess that will make it pretty hard to reproduce. I'll try this with the 20110227 snapshot as soon as I can. -- David R
