Thank you, Cyrille. It seems to have worked.

Is there any reason, when bash itself nowadays has pretty good 
tab-completion, why bash-completion is still available in setup.exe or 
elsewhere in the Luniverse? At any rate, some effort should be made to 
inform new folks (to GNU-stuff) about the differences between them, and 
recommend against installing it -- or anything that depends on it 
(git-completion, acc'd. to the latest setup utility) -- if they're not 
going to need it for whatever they've installed Cygwin for.

Something like this should be in big bold letters in the setup guide 
pages -- something giving the sense of "bash-completion is more than 
tab-completion: don't confuse the two."

Enough tripping off through the garden of Tangent. Cheers.

Steve Wright
