Hi Tim,

Could you please clarify what exactly fails? What are your symptoms? Does remote completion fail when you use my fix? Does my fix break something that worked previously?

The patch attached is meant to fix the issue arising in 9.10 (Karmic) where remote file/directory completion over SSH no longer works.

For example, scp remote.host:~/my_fil[TAB] should (in this hypothetical scenario) complete to: scp ~/my_file

In Karmic's bash_completion script, it does not.

As nobody has reviewed the patch, I assume that an upstream fix must exist, and will be incorporated into Lucid.
