If I did it was totally unintentional especially considering I don't 
know what a Cygwin Ports is though I imagine it about porting open 
source software to Cygwin and perhaps maybe a site. Are you telling me 
that http://mirrors.kernal.org is a "Cygwin Ports" site?

Ah dang! You're right! I recalled that setup asks for a local package 
dir and I typically keep a Cygwin folder with all of the stuff I use 
downloaded in case anybody else wants to use it locally. I recalled how 
it has directories under it with encoded URL names so I decided to check 
my "repo" and lo and behold there's a 
ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.cygwinports.org%2fpub%2fcygwinports%2f directory there. 
I had no idea that this "Ports" URL was different than any other URL in 
that list...

OK so is this bad? Should I remove it? How would I "back this out"?

Wow! I didn't know that bash_completion sourced ~/.bash_completion. 
That's good to know as I have written my own bash_completions - an 
extensive set that covers just about all of the Clearcase commands 
complete with smarts to complete Clearcase objects like labels, branch 
names, etc. Contact me if you want a copy.

Quite honestly option D is the best choice for me at this moment as this 
is the only thing that doesn't complete for me and I'm about to be 
hammered at work and too busy to follow up on this. Maybe later.

Damn good response though! Thanks.
