Hello zsh-users,
Version-extended file names in ClearCase (e.g.,
"foo.c@@/main/1") complete correctly (Type "foo.c@@/"
and press tab) only while using old-style completion.
No completions are displayed once you activate new
style completions by calling "compinit." I understand
from earlier threads* that this can be fixed by some
changes to the "_files" function, but haven't been
able to figure out the changes required. Has anyone
already done this or can explain to me what needs to
be done?
Thanks a lot,
harik

This is fixed in the latest 4.1 version (the main trunk) in the archive.
The patch was the one below. I don't know if it works in 4.0, but
there's a reasonable chance. It's had only limited testing, so any
feedback is useful.

Thanks a lot. I use v4.0.2 on Linux/x86 and had to
change the "VAR+=STHG" line to "VAR=${VAR}STHG", and
similarly for the array, after I patched and it worked
like magic. The same thing also worked for v4.0.6 on
SunOS/sparc and v4.0.6 on Cygwin_NT-5.0,Win2k/x86.
Nothing broken so far.
Sorry about the ersatz OS/CPU terminology.
Regards,
harik
