[darcs-users] Bash completion - fixed!

[Daniel Carrera]

Hi all,

Thanks to all who helped. I found the problem (finally!). The bash 
completion script was calling `darcs --commands` to get a list of 
options. It turns out that, at least on my system, this command gives 
you a very incomplete list:

$ darcs --commands
initialize
get
changes
--help
--version
--exact-version
--extended-help


That's why 'record', 'unrecord', etc were not working. I fixed this by 
adding a new function that simply echoes all the darcs options, and 
calling that function instead of `darcs --commands`:

_darcs_commands()
{
     echo initialize
     echo get
     echo add
     echo remove
     echo mv
     echo replace
     echo record
     echo pull
     ...
}
[snip]

-    COMPREPLY=( $( darcs --commands | grep "^$cur" ) )
+    COMPREPLY=( $( _darcs_commands | grep "^$cur" ) )


It's strange that no one would notice this before. Maybe my darcs has a 
broken --commands flag. Does the --commands flag work well for everyone 
else but me?

Cheers,
Daniel.
