How do I make Vim do normal (Bash-like) tab completion for file names?

by

I personally use

set wildmode=longest,list,full
set wildmenu

When you type the first tab hit, it will complete as much as possible. The second tab hit will provide a list. The third and subsequent tabs will cycle through completion options so you can complete the file without further keys.

Bash-like would be just 

set wildmode=longest,list

but the full is very handy.
