Bug Description

Till Ubuntu 12.04 I wasn't facing any problem in using Tab key for finding possible files in case of jar or cat command.

(e.g)
* jar -uf ~/java_memcached-release_2.6.6.jar com/danga/MemCached/MemC<tab> not listing "MemCachedClient.class"
* cvs -d `cat <tag>` not showing any possibilities

This is 2 separate bugs:

1: yeah, jar completion seems to be broken for jar uf foo.jar ...

2: yeah, completion of args inside command substitution is broken, if you mean that
cvs -d `cat filenam[TAB] => nothing

This is related to bug 1312243, but it's sort of different. I filed upstream
https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=314895&group_id=100114&atid=413095
for that, and changed the bug title for this bug to be just about the jar part of your report.
