[Monotone-devel] Re: bash completion
Heh, thanks :-) I've been thinking along the same line of thoughts, and will probably do something like that within a few days. BTW, it almost sounds like you'd like it to become a part of the regular distribution rather than a contrib thingy...

And once the file is properly compiled, one could even check me the existance of `/etc/bash_completion.d` and copy the final file there me on success. me me The downside of this is of course that the non-dynamic parts of the me completion script then could be determined to have some kind of first me level support once we install them by default...

Yes, because I think we have lots of useful things hidden in contrib/ people don't really know of and some of these things are so useful that we should even try to install them by default if detected. This also pushes us to constantly improve these things (compatibility and functionality-wise) and not overgo / ignore them because hey, they're just in contrib. Of course we cannot support every little lua hook script use case, but the most important ones (mail notification is one for example) should really just be dropped somewhere and work out of the box. (Debian's monotone-server package would probably benefit from that.)

In any case, I agree, and I'm trying to work my way through the contrib directory to see what can be good for supported inclusion.
