1 +At least on my system (ubuntu) many programs feature auto-completion of subcommands; it is very useful. Fossil does not, svn and cvs do.

3 +My guess is that the feature is enabled by the following entry in .bashrc:
4 +
5 +<verbatim>
6 +# enable programmable completion features (you don't need to enable
7 +# this, if it's already enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile
8 +# sources /etc/bash.bashrc).
9 +if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
10 + . /etc/bash_completion
11 +fi
12 +</verbatim>
13 +
14 +It would be nice if we could develop and maintain a file that would enable this for fossil when copied to /etc/bash_completion.d. I do not know if this can be made in a portable (or at least automated) manner at all.
