I don't know about the original poster, but one place where I often
don't want a space after a completion is with git branch names, to make
it easier to do commands like:
# List commits in current branch but not in master
git log master..
# List commits from either branch which aren't in the other
git log branch1...branch2
The completion for git already supports completing branches after those
dots, but an unwanted space is automatically added after completing the
first branch name.
Of course, I can't say for sure that I wouldn't get more annoyed by the
space not being automatically added there in cases where I'm only going
to be specifying a single branch.
