there is no way to filter directories with grep directly ... you have to chain 
find|xargs-grep sort of junk

since git only takes up the toplevel with .git it's a lot easier to avoid than 
svn which has .svn in every dir, so i just dont grep the root dir but rather 
i glob the root stuff

grep -r foo /path/to/coreutils/*
