Details:

The --include option seems completely broken to me.  I am using v2.6.3 on
Arch Linux.

Example:

# Normal recursive grep works ok...
address@hidden ~/test
$ grep -Rl test *
subdir/test.cpp
test.cpp

# test.cpp in the current directory isn't returned
address@hidden ~/test
$ grep -Rl --include=\*.cpp test *
subdir/test.cpp

# I only asked for .h files, why is a .cpp file being returned?
address@hidden ~/test
$ grep -Rl --include=\*.h test *
test.cpp

# Non-recursive, nothing gets returned.
address@hidden ~/test
$ grep -l --include=\*.cpp test *

# Non-recursive, wrong file type returned.
address@hidden ~/test
$ grep -l --include=\*.h test *
test.cpp


I've tried using various combinations of backslashes, single and double
quotes on the --include parameter, but to no avail.
