[Bug 889344] Re: Mercurial tab completion doesn't work with files with spaces

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio]

Hi Vibhav,

Thanks for your work on this. I just sponsored the upload.

FYI: I did make one small tweak. I removed some of the fields you put in
the patch's header. There's no need to include stuff like Build Depends,
Section, Uploaders, etc... We try to follow the guidelines laid out in
DEP3 for patch headers. See: http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/

Thanks again!

Title:
  Mercurial tab completion doesn't work with files with spaces

Status in hg: The Python implementation of Mercurial:
  Fix Released
Status in “mercurial” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  If you use tab completion for a file with a space in it the tab
  completion doesn't escape the spaces or wrap the filename in quotes.
  This causes the filename to not be recognized.

  To reproduce:

  
  $ touch "x y z"
  $ hg add x<Tab>y z 
  x: No such file or directory
  y: No such file or directory
  z: No such file or directory
  $ ls x<Tab>\ y\ z 
  x y z
