[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#698721: Tab-completing $env variables escapes the '$'

[Josh Triplett]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:2.0-1
Severity: normal

I tried to tab-complete the following:

make -C ~/src/linux/ M=$HOME/src/c[tab]

The shell completed $HOME/src/c to the path starting with 'c' that I
expected, but also incorrectly changed $HOME to \$HOME.
