Ok,

My userid is xx00mkf.


If I add:

. ~/.git-completion.bash
if [ ! $? = 0 ] ; then
  echo "HOME=" $HOME
  echo "~=" ~
fi

I see:

-bash: /home/xx00m/.git-completion.bash: No such file or directory
HOME= /home/xx00mkf
~= /home/xx00m


If I add:

. ~/.git-completion.bash
if [ ! $? = 0 ] ; then
  echo "HOME=" $HOME
  echo "~=" ~
  echo "~/.git-completion.bash=" ~/.git-completion.bash
fi

-bash: /home/xx00m/.git-completion.bash: No such file or directory
HOME= /home/xx00mkf
~= /home/xx00mkf
~/.git-completion.bash= /home/xx00mkf/.git-completion.bash


If I add:

. ~/.git-completion.bash
if [ ! $? = 0 ] ; then
  echo "HOME=" $HOME
  echo "~=" ~
  echo "~=" ~
  echo "~=" ~
  echo "~=" ~
  echo "~=" ~
  echo "~=" ~
  echo "~=" ~
  echo "~=" ~
fi

I cannot reproduce the issue.

Weird.
