It's really useful, especially when you use it for command-line options (e.g. is the 'diff' parameter '--ignore-all-space' or '--ignore-all-spaces'; '--ignore-a<TAB>'; got it!). There are built-in completion files for svn, cvs and a whole load of others, plus you can write your own - I haven't done this yet, but while the completion files are a little bit complicated, the process is understandable.
