This problem is specific to my Ubuntu 10.04.3 virtual machine (or it is so far anyways).

I've run into an issue where using tab to complete the path to an object I'm performing an operation on with git (such as git diff/git add/git rm), my whole terminal dies when it starts completing the last part of the path. So, for example:

~> cd Repositories/test_project/sub_dir <- (works fine)
sub_dir> git diff example.txt <- (works fine)
~> git diff Repositories/test_project/sub_dir/example.txt <- (crashes terminal when attempting completion of example.txt)

I'm not entirely sure what the cause would be, or I'd attempt to fix it before posting here, but until I can get some more time I'm just going to report it for now. Just for the record, I don't recall this happening on my macbook running 10.7, so this seems to be specific to my Ubuntu instance.
