First of all, thank you and congratulations for the awesome work :) I've just made a clean install of OS X Mavericks and installed Git via Homebrew, which obviously includes the contrib files. I sourced the git-completion.bash into my profile and I get stuck on a error every time I try to use the autocomplete. The error outputted is: egrep: ^ [a-zA-Z0-9]: No such file or directory I believe this is related to this line (this commands outputs the same error when entered directly): https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash#L614 I don't know if this issue is directly related to OS X Mavericks or anything else. Thanks. ``` ## Eric Sunshine, 2013-10-27 22:34 Subject: Re: git-completion.bash error Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAPig%2BcQuh0QEbmDxNMHgvhmJ7AFgvP70qvJhfVw3fz6YxaME7w%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Sun, Oct 27, 2013 at 4:59 PM, Gabriel wrote: > I've just made a clean install of OS X Mavericks and installed Git via > Homebrew, which obviously includes the contrib files. > > I sourced the git-completion.bash into my profile and I get stuck on a > error every time I try to use the autocomplete.
