[Bug 461600] Re: when completing git commands, bash-completion complains "fatal: error processing config file(s)" to stderr

[Peter Cordes]

Doesn't seem to be a problem anymore.  git clo<tab> outside of any git
repo correctly completes to git clone, on Trusty.  My ~/.git isn't
broken, possibly breaking it could spit errors?

  If anyone does still see a bug, reopen this and post a testcase.
(touch / mkdir, and exactly where to press tab to reproduce.)

Title:
  when completing git commands, bash-completion complains "fatal: error
  processing config file(s)" to stderr

Status in bash-completion package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: bash-completion

  Distro: reproduced in both karmic-rc-server-i386 and karmic-rc-
  desktop-i386

  Package version:
  bash-completion 1:1.0-3ubuntu2
  git-core 1:1.6.3.3-2

  Abstract:
  When completing git commands, the bash completion works expectedly
  but emits ugly error messages in the middle

  How to reproduce:
  1. install git-core
  2. try git clo<TAB>
     then bash complains
     "git clofatal: error processing config file(s)
      ne"

  2. or try git st<TAB>
     "git stfatal: error processing config file(s)
      a"

  3. when hit <CR> with this status, the command itself works expectedly

  Differential:
  I tried the same thing with my jaunty machine, but couldn't reproduce.
  I also tried the same thing with other packages than git
  (like apt-cache search or svn checkout) but completion works without complaint
  So I guess it's only reproduceable with karmic and git
