Ignore bash command in pane

[Azrael3000]

At the moment empty panes are saved as - bash which starts bash on top of bash which is really unnecessary I think. So it might be good to ignore the standard shell command when saving.

I do have some tests to make sure bash/zsh etc don't get clumped in the freezer, but it may require more tests. I will look closer into this.

@Azrael3000 setting default-shell and default-command suppresses this behaviour:

- shell_command:
  - tmux set-option -g default-shell /bin/bash
  - tmux set-option -g default-command /bin/bash
  - <some command>

Does this work?

session_name: global-options
start_directory: '~'
options:
  default-shell: ${SHELL}
  default-command: ${SHELL}
windows:
- window_name: my window name
  layout: main-horizontal
  panes:
  - shell_command:
    - top
  -
  -

As of yet, I don't see an example to set global options, if it doesn't work, we'll add the functionality/tests and an example.

@tony I'm afraid not, it still results in a new pane spawning bash-in-bash

@sublimino @Azrael3000 pip install -U tmuxp to 1.2.0... does it work now?

You can also set it as a global (server-wide, all sessions) option:

session_name: global-options
start_directory: '~'
global_options:
  default-shell: ${SHELL}
  default-command: ${SHELL}
windows:
- window_name: my window name
  layout: main-horizontal
  panes:
  - shell_command:
    - top
  -
  -

@tony loving the responsiveness on this, thanks!

with 1.2.0 both options and global_options have the desired effect 😀

FWIW only default-command is required to suppress the duplicate-shell behaviour in this ticket.
