Hey hey
After the last bash-completion and git update there is a funny issue with the Git Prompt [1]: __git_ps1 is not defined
The bash-completion update moved most completion scripts to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/
and sources them if needed. See line 1933 in: /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
__git_ps1 is defined in: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git
So if you type 'git pul<TAB>' this file gets sourced and the error disappears. I worked around this by sourcing this file manually in my .bashrc
My question is, where i should report this bug. Is it a git problem or a bash-completion problem. I think its a git issue, because __git_ps1 is no complete function and should be defined somewhere else... Or shall i shut my mouth and continue sourcing it in my .bashrc?
I just noticed this. The bash completion now uses a dynamic loading mechanism for the new path (the old compat path is still sourced unconditionally as it seems). A workaround is writing this in your .bashrc: _xfunc git __git_ps1 &>/dev/null Then everything works. Clearly, git abuses the completion file to define functions that are unrelated to completion.
