pass @1.7_0+bash: bash completion problem

[markabney]

The pass password manager includes bash completion which is not compatible with the standard MacOS bash (v3.2.57). This problem only occurs with pass 1.7 and above. In fact there are really two problems: 1. installing pass does not also configure the user's account to have bash completion, and 2. once proper configuration happens bash completion can fail with the error message "-bash: compopt: command not found".

The solution to 1. is simple, either add the following line to .bashrc or instruct the user to do it him/herself:

[[ -r "/opt/local/share/bash-completion/completions/pass" ]] && source "/opt/local/share/bash-completion/completions/pass"

The solution to 2. (patch included) is mentioned here: ​https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/password-store/2017-April/002869.html

Ideally, 2. is fixed upstream, but so far that has not happened.

In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers pass).

Is issue 2 still a problem in pass 1.7.1?
