Bash Version: 4.2
Patch Level: 37
Release Status: release

Description:
        If one has a file "data.txt" and a shell script "x", it used to
        be possible to run this with "sh x dat<tab>" and have the file argument
        completed to "data.txt".  As of Debian Wheezy update completion
        only recognizes subdirectories as possible arguments.

Repeat-By:
        Create an executable shell script "x".
        Put some text in a readable file "data.txt".
        Try to invoke script "x" as "sh x dat<tab>" and notice
        that completion does not work for data.txt.

Fix:
        Interestingly, "./x dat<tab>" *does* work.  So this has to do
        with how bash looks at file arguments to explicitly invoked
        scripts passed to "sh" as the command.
