Hi,
Using tab-completion has a strange side-effect that I cannot explain.
I have a directory structure like this:
~/boojum/FooBar
If I try to cd to the FooBar dir using tab completion like this it
works:
> cd boojum/foo<tab><enter>
(Note the lowercase 'foo' and the absence of a leading "./" on the dir
name)
However, if I do the exact same thing, but this time pre-pending "./",
it will fail:
> cd ./boojum/foo<tab><enter>
bash: cd: ./boojum/fooBr/: No such file or directory
Any ideas why this would happen? I have dot (".") in my path, so it
should work. This is on bash on fedora 7.
TIA,
-T
