Re: PATCH: _long_options

[Sven Wischnowsky <wischnow@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]

Aargh, I remembered this a bit too late...

If `_long_options' thinks the command invoked is a path name relative
to PWD it probably should put `$PWD' before it to make sure the cache
isn't used for another command that happens to have the same name but
is in a different directory.

I had this idea when playing with `_tar' (which is not changed, yet):
there we probably should try to turn the archive name into a absolute
path when building the cache name. Would

  tf="$PWD/$tf"
  tf="${${tf//.\\/}//\\/[^/]#\\/..}"

be enough for that? (Looks funny, doesn't it? ;-)


Bye
