Removing already completed items from future completions?

Removing already completed items from future completions?

[Wayne Davison]

It sure would be nice if a completer could be made to remove items that
had already been inserted into the command-line.  For instance, in the
completion for cvs: if I type "cvs commit <I>", and it mentions "foo"
and "bar", I'd sure love it if "cvs commit foo <I>" would just insert
"bar" (since "foo" would have been omitted from the list).

have you tried this?
zstyle ':completion:*:cvs:*' ignore-line yes
at least i think that should be right, i have this commented out in my
.zshrc which i think works, but i found it annoying:
#zstyle ':completion:*:rm:*' ignore-line yes

FYI, I had to add the -COMMAND suffix to the "cvs" to get that to work.
E.g.:

zstyle ':completion:*:cvs-commit:*' ignore-line true

Thanks for the pointer,

Ah, I tried to make it work after i replied, but couldn't :) Thanks.
If you want it to happen for all cvs commands, cvs-* seems to work
fine. (When i want to select many but not all files from a completion
i usually bring up the menu selecting thinger instead.)
