Description Konstantin Olchanski 2016-09-17 03:47:44 UTC 
Bash-completion is broken:

"echo $HOME/<TAB>" becomes
"echo \$HOME/" instead of listing all the files in $HOME
notice the added "\" before the "$".

In el6, "echo $HOME/<TAB>" results in "echo /home/username/", second <TAB> yields the list of files. This is okey. (bash-completion is not installed)

In el7, "rpm --erase bash-completion" restores sensible behaviour:
"echo $HOME/<TAB>" yields the list of files in $HOME.
