+===== Disable autocompletion =====
+Incorrect command specific autocompletion can be annoying - e.g. if for the ''cvs'' command only files and directories are considered, which are already under //cvs// control - but this is applied to ''cvs add'' as well.
+A simple fix is to reset autocompletion for arguments of a specific command to its default to take all files into account. On modern (as of 2023) Debian-oid Linux sytems, this can be done by
+  compdef _files cvs
