bash autocomplete not working after "cvs commit"


I'm running Ubuntu 14.04. When I'm on the server via Putty (ssh), the autocomplete is not working for the "cvs commit" or "cvs update", although for other commands like nano, it's working fine.

eg, when I'm in a directory and try

nano cvsd<<tab>>

this is completed to cvsdir/ (to be filled then with the actual filename of course)

however, when I'm in the same location and try

cvs commit cvsd<<tab>>

nothing happens. It's not completed. I tried in different locations (for folders that are cvs folders), and it's never working. When I type cvs commit cvsdir, it's working as expected - the directory actually is a cvs directory.

How come ? How can I change it? How an I ensure that the auto-complete works again for the cvs command?
