I have a possible broken "shell pipe".

grep/egrep works fine when I pass a pattern and a file or folder, but
it breaks after pipe.

The content of the line that breaks on my machine is:
git help -a|egrep '^  [a-zA-Z0-9]'

Are you using a broken egrep? On Mavericks, mine shows:

% type egrep
egrep is /usr/bin/egrep
% egrep --version
egrep (BSD grep) 2.5.1-FreeBSD

This commands breaks outputting the regexp not being a valid file or directory.

I'll keep investigating but I've never seen a broken shell pipe function =(

Thanks

I've just made a clean install of OS X Mavericks and installed Git via
Homebrew, which obviously includes the contrib files.

I sourced the git-completion.bash into my profile and I get stuck on a
error every time I try to use the autocomplete. The error outputted
is:

egrep: ^ [a-zA-Z0-9]: No such file or directory

I believe this is related to this line (this commands outputs the same
error when entered directly):
https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash#L614

Unable to reproduce on Mavericks either via the completion script or
manual entry.

I don't know if this issue is directly related to OS X Mavericks or
anything else.
