Re: [PATCH] URL completion via 'svn ls' in bash_completion - call for advice

I've improved my try from earlier to actually work - at least for http
directory paths. If you tab complete on an argument that is an
http://*/ then it will query 'svn ls' and autocomplete based on that.
I guess all that leaves is working out the partial filename/directory
completion.
