Thanks to a comment on the Debian Package of the Day site....

I now have a long wished for feature!

Ubuntu has bash smart completion turn on by default. Which is usually
very helpful... but sometimes isn't. eg.

If I go...
  cvs co T<tab><tab>

it...
  * quietly in the background
  * does "cvs co CVSROOT/modules"
  * and prepares a HUGE list of modules starting with T (hey I do work
    for T(ait) electronics and all our products are T something.

but actually I just wanted to refresh the module already in my
current working directory.

Answer:

 cvs co T<Alt>-/<Alt>-/

reverts to the "unsmart" version. Yay!
