- Subject: File name completion on symbolic links
This is a very minor issue and it may be just a Bash problem, but...
When I use Bash to do file name completion (using Tab) on a DIRECTORY
that is a symlink I do not get the trailing slash '/'.
If it's a real directory, the TAB results in the completion of the
directory name with an appended slash. If it's a symlink, I get the
directory name but NO slash.
This is the part of my mount table that may be of interest:
c:\program files on /PF type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /c type system (binmode)
d: on /d type system (binmode,noumount)
cd /c
c> ls -ald Sources Public
drwxr-xr-x+ 4 lrwilso mkgroup 4096 Aug 13 11:28 public/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 lrwilso mkgroup 100 Aug 13 09:52 Sources ->
/d/Sources
ls pub<tab> yields "ls public/"
ls Sou<tab> yields "ls Sources"
any insight?
