Simple test case: ls ~<TAB>

Looks like this was broken in commit c9c98da36edeb9305e24e7ea2d8ccf8b0934ce70. Freddy, it was committed by you, could you have a look?

The fix wasn't working on another computer and I found out Acrobat Reader (at
least version 9) is shipping its own completion, including its own `_filedir'
function, which conflicts with ours:

    $ shopt -s extdebug
    $ declare -F _filedir
    _filedir 3 /etc/bash_completion.d/acroread.sh
    $ ls -l /etc/bash_completion.d/acroread.sh
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 2009-10-14 14:31
    /etc/bash_completion.d/acroread.sh ->
    /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Resource/Shell/acroread_tab
    $ declare -f _filedir
    _filedir () 
    { 
        local IFS='	
    ' xspec;
        xspec=${1:+"!*.$1"};
        COMPREPLY=(${COMPREPLY[@]:-} $( compgen -f -X "$xspec" -- "$cur" ) $( compgen -d -- "$cur" ))
    }
    
The problem becomes apparent when you don't set BASH_COMPLETION_COMPAT_DIR.  It then gets a default value of `/etc/bash_completion.d' and will include _filedir of Acrobat.

The workaround is to disable BASH_COMPLETION_COMPAT_DIR by setting:

    BASH_COMPLETION_COMPAT_DIR=$BASH_COMPLETION_DIR

or to remove the _filedir definition from acroread.sh.

Anyway, the more reason to work on our roadmap: create a namespace and a new directory layout...

Fixed in commit 7b67991: Fix ls test
Append slash (/) or space (" ") to completion depending on whether `~user' home directory exists or not.

The fix does not seem quite complete, it causes a test suite failure (ls.exp) for me with bash 4.1.7.  My dbg.log for it is attached.

$ ls ~<TAB>
~abrt/          ~avahi-autoipd  ~ftp            ~halt/          ~mysql/         ~ntp/           ~root/          ~saslauth       ~smolt/         ~usbmuxd/       
~adm            ~bin/           ~games/         ~lp/            ~nfsnobody/     ~openvpn/       ~rpc/           ~scop/          ~sshd/          ~uucp           
~apache/        ~daemon/        ~gopher         ~mail/          ~nobody/        ~operator/      ~rpcuser/       ~shutdown/      ~sync/          ~vcsa/          
~avahi/         ~dbus/          ~haldaemon/     ~mailnull       ~nscd/          ~pulse          ~rtkit/         ~smmsp          ~tcpdump/       

Notice how the ~adm, ~avahi-autoipd, ~ftp, ~gopher, ~mailnull, ~pulse, ~saslauth, ~smmsp, and ~uucp entries lack the trailing slash.  And they actually complete to those strings instead of the dirs. On a brief look it seems that this happens for users whose home dirs don't exist. Not sure if there's anything that can be sanely done about that, but IMO the test suite shouldn't fail.
