While uses like grep -Fw '' (explicit empty string) are probably very

With the fix, grep will now match all blank lines in the input.
Shall we branch 2.6.x now?
I would like to defer the branch at least until
after the TAB->space indentation changes, so that
we don't have the hassle of merging through those.
Thinking of that, maybe it's best to defer your -Fw '' fix until
after that global change, too.
