Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:2.1-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

bash-completion only lists directories when the filename starts with a tilde.
To reproduce:

$ mkdir -p ~/test_bc/dir
$ touch -p ~/test_bc/file
$ cd ~
$ mv test_bc/  [press Tab]
dir/  file

So far, so good. But if the path starts with tilde, only directories are
considered:

$ mv ~/test_bc/ [press Tab] dir/

mv ~/test_bc/file .

is a perfectly fine command. bash-completion should offer   dir/ file  no
matter how the path starts.
