Summary: bash completions don't complete
Product: openSUSE 11.1
Version: Factory
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Other
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 - None
Component: Basesystem
AssignedTo: werner@xxxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: matz@xxxxxxxxxx

CC: bwalle@xxxxxxxxxx

It seems the new bash completions do more harm than good:

% cpio -i < /tm<TAB>

I expect this to complete the filename to "/tmp/" (or if multiple choices
to list them to me after a second press to TAB). Instead the above does
nothing.

Same with quilt (that's why the CC on Bernhard):

% quilt vi /tm<TAB>

This also expects filenames, but the completion (which should complete
to "/tmp/" on my system) does nothing.

It seems (speculation on my side) that as soon as the completion
functions/scripts don't understand the options they provide no completion
at all, instead of falling back to the shells default completions.
