how do you get tab completion to ignore .svn ?


Hi all,

Is it possible to get tab completion in bash to ignore some directories, like .svn? For example, .svn prevents me from very easily tabbing through directories of repositories, which only have a single directory.

Thanks!
George

You could try the programmable bash completion package, but if you want a *real* programmable completion system, the only (current) solution is zsh (much crunchier than bash).
