Thanks.  Yeah, that sounds broken.

Unfortunately the patch introduces a regression: if after loading the completion script I set COMP_WORDBREAKS not to contain a colon, then with the current completion script

	git show HEAD:Docu<TAB>

completes fine, but with the patched completion script it seems to get confused and strips off the HEAD.

Ideas? Jonathan
