Hi,
difficult to say without knowing what fish is looking for, and man pages
are not meant to do automated auto-completion.
Anyway, I can only say that the `--allow-duplicate-timestamps` option is
new with 2.0.5 and might be the reason for the issue.
This said, I don't see anything suspicious and the man page renders
properly.
Feel free to place a Merge Request to fix the issue though, once you've
found the culprit.
If fish also allows to create its autocompletion script from a
bash-autocompletion script, it would possibly be a better option.

Hi,
after updating my Ubuntu to 20.10, I have rdiff-backup 2.0.5 now.
There is a curious issue when using the fish console. It has a powerful
autocompletion feature, both regarding file paths and command options.
We can hit
fish_update_completions
and then the files containing the command completions (suggestions like
--list-increment-size, --no-fsync) are being generated from the man
pages.
But then, fish hits a snag. The completion file generated that way is
truncated:
david@nitro ~/.l/s/f/generated_completions> cat rdiff-backup.fish
# rdiff-backup
# Autogenerated from man page /usr/share/man/man1/rdiff-backup.1.gz
complete -c rdiff-backup -l allow-duplicate-timestamps --description
'This option is only to be used if you encounter the issue of metadata
mirrors…'
Did man page change in any way that fish_update_completions cannot
parse? Other man pages are parsed correctly, and fish generates a file
with all the options.
With the best regards,
David
