--- Begin Message ---Subject: --exclude-dir matches search dir Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2015 23:57:40 -0400 This generates output:$ grep -rl --exclude-dir=usr LINUX /usr/includeand this doesn't:$ grep -rl --exclude-dir='usr*' LINUX /usr/includeThis feels like a bug. My actual use-case is more like the following, but the above seems like a more universal test case.$ grep -rl --exclude-dir='.*' /home/aron/.virtualenvs/pp/src PATTThis surprised me by not generating any results. I had expected the exclusion to only affect dirs within the given path, not match on the path itself, but it seems to be aborting because '.*' matches '.virtualenvs'. Is this a bug or just a bad assumption on my part?$ grep --version/usr/bin/grep (GNU grep) 2.21Thanks,Aron
