When using the auto-completion included with git for tcsh, several commands do directly completion with an additional space appended to the end, which defeats the ability to complete to a deeper sub-directory.

For example, if I have a git repository including the following:
basedir/foo/bar/somefile.c

(works as expected, git add)
$ cd basedir
$ git add f<tab>
$ git add foo/
$ git add foo/b<tab>
$ git add foo/bar/
$ git add foo/bar/s<tab>
$ git add foo/bar/somefile.c

(works not as expected, git rm)
$ cd basedir
$ git rm f<tab>
$ git rm foo 
$ git rm foo<backspace>/b<tab>
$ git rm foo/bar 
there’s a trailing space after foo and bar in the above lines, which means it’s not possible to initiate completion or immediately start typing, i must back-space before continuing.

I’m fairly certain i’ve seen this for other commands as well, but i’m not sure to what extent this occurs throughout the commands.
