[bug #32520] If you use --include -- grep does not recurse all subdirectires

[Keith Daniels]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #32520 (project grep):

OK, I'm slow but I finally figured it out.

Ignore everything in my post.  It's not a bug--it's a feature.

What confused me was this from the Info file:

`--include=GLOB'
     Search only *bold*files*bold* whose base name matches GLOB (using
wildcard matching as described under `--exclude').

You need to point out that it also blocks recursion in any directory whose
name does not match the specified GLOB.

Best I can tell, there is no way to do what I wanted to do--without using a
loop of some kind in a script as input to grep.
