Huh?  Are you just trying random things?  Neither of those should
complete because they're invalid.  "." means the current directory.  So,
typing ./foo means "a file named foo in the current directory", and if
you're in /cygdrive/g there is no such file myscript.sh, thus nothing to
complete.  .~/bin is even more nonsensical.
