Alpha of subversion URL tab completion 3
Despite how much I really hate shell scripting I’ve actually got something semi-functional going on this whole svn tab completion idea. It only does anything when you tab on a full directory path (http://youserver/ or http://youserver/foo), but it will list the possibilities when you do, and autocomplete if there is only one.
I guess that just leaves getting partial completion working, ie http://yourserver/fo => http://yourserver/foo/, and then it’s done. I’m happy just to have it this far, though, so I won’t be cranking that out immediately. Down the road a bit maybe I’ll think about hostname completion too.
I cover the prerequisites in my quick intro to bash_completion of OS X. If you have that installed and the lastest svn bash_completion file, then you can just apply my patch.

I’ll have to check this out, Dan.
Thanks for sharing these patches, Tim & Dan. Very handy when I can’t remember paths in old project repositories.
