Bug Description
Type this:
rsync -avz -include=".*" ./* /me
and then hit the tab key
Expected: it should autocomplete /me to /media/ or show available autocomplete options if any
Observed: tab key does nothing.
Testing it a little bit, it seems the tab key stops working when a pattern like ="anything" has been typed.
For example, after typing:
foo -bar="xyz"
the tab key stops working
However, after for example.
foo -bar=""
it still works.
This doesn't make any sense.
