Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release
Description:
My bash sources $HOME/.alias if it exists. This is not
documented in the bash manual page. (Of course it's neither
documented how to suppress this behaviour.)
Repeat-By:
Create a .alias file with csh/tcsh syntax in $HOME, start bash
and see it complaining about the wrong syntax.
Fix:
Put a note about this behaviour in the manual page. :-)
Regards, Axel
