[Bug 1210737] Re: easygit (aka eg) fails with "unary operator expected"

[Peter Cordes]

I don't have eg installed, but I got the completions from the .deb, and
sourced them in a shell.

Works for me on Trusty; I don't see those error messages.  I am using
git from the ppa, though: 2:2.1.3-1avh1~trusty1 not Trusty's 1:1.9.1-1.
(eg uses git's completion functions, and /usr/share/bash-
completion/completions/git is provided by git).

 Are you doing this in a directory with any funny names in it?  maybe
files with a * in their name?

 Another thing that can cause problems is old cruft hanging around in
/etc/bash_completion.d, overriding the good versions of functions
supplied by new stuff.

 Anyway, eg provides /etc/bash_completion.d/eg, so this is eg's bug, or
a bug in interaction between it and whatever version of git completion
you have installed.  git's completion file is actually really massive,
and has modified and renamed versions of some of the building block
functions that that bash-completion ships.

 Please confirm this still happens on a Trusty or later system.
