Bug Description

This patch puts the completion scripts included with svk into the proper locations: it adds
/usr/bin/svk-completion.pl and /etc/bash_completion.d/svk so that bash completion will just work.

I've verified that it uninstalls properly and passes lintian.

This patch adds Bash completion to svk.

If you just want to add completion to the svk package on your running Ubuntu system, follow these commands:

$ cd /tmp
$ sudo apt-get build-dep svk
$ sudo apt-get install dpkg-buildpackage fakeroot devscripts
$ apt-get source svk
$ cd svk-1.06
$ patch -p0 < ../completion.patch
$ debuild -us -uc # arguments tell debuild not to sign the package
$ sudo dpkg -i ../svk_1.06-1_all.deb

Now, open a new terminal and start bouncing on the tab key.

svk 1.06-1 includes /etc/bash_completion.d/svk. Excellent!

Problem is, it does not include /usr/bin/svk-completions.pl (found in svk-1.06/contrib) so, whenever the user hits the tab key, Bash complains that svk-completions.pl could not be found.

Workaround for anyone who is currently experiencing this bug: just grab a copy of svk-completions.pl from the svk sources:
    $ cd /tmp
    $ apt-get source svk
    $ sudo cp svk-1.06/contrib/svk-completion.pl /usr/bin
