Hi, I'm having some trouble with tab-completion. I've created an alias for
svn (subversion) which runs a pythonscript executing svn. One of the reasons
for this is that I use the script to colorize the output.

However this caused zsh to stop tab-completing svn commands, eg. I used to
be able to type "svn res[tab]" and it completes to "svn resolved". Is there
a way to enable the same tab-completions for my alias?


Assuming your alias is
alias svn="myfoobarscript --blabla"
then you can put in
compdef _svn myfoobarscript=svn
and it should complete the same as svn


Almost, it looks like
alias svn="python ~/bin/svnc.py"

Is it possible anyway? Otherwise I guess I could always just wrap thatin a shellscript.
