Re: Patch for git-completion.bash [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Thanks reading the list showed running as sh instead of bash was my problem

I am trying to combine the very useful git-prompt
(http://volnitsky.com/project/git-prompt/) and git-completion.bash
scripts as each had something the other lacked.

The problem is that while git-prompt suggests you start it from .bashrc
via 
[[ $- == *i* ]]   &&   . /path/to/git-prompt.sh

Using . to execute git-completion.bash runs sh which runs bash in sh
emulation mode which makes it fail in several places.

I did see a thread about an attempt to make the script zsh compliant as
well, I wonder if it would be better to just make it sh compliant so
that it is more portable, I guess that's too hard
