It appears not to; I now have
'(shell-completion-fignore (quote ("~"))
in my custom-set-variables, but the behaviour on typing ./script TAB TAB is
still the same.
But really this bug is about the different treatment of filename completion and
command completion.
Whatever the shell-completion-fignore setting, it should apply the same way to
both.
It appears that filename completion has special handling for backup files, even
if shell-completion-fignore
is at its default empty values. The backup files are not completely ignored
for tab-completion, but
they do not provoke a completions buffer either. They just require you to hit
TAB a second time.
That is a sensible compromise as a default behaviour - it just needs to be
applied consistently to
command completion too.
