Details:

Given a directory containing some C files

foo.c
bar.c
dog.c

The following used to work to show the defines in bar.c and dog.c

grep --include="*.c" --exclude="foo.c" define *

Now... the --include="*.c" acts as if it is --exclude and you get NOTHING!!!!

Here is a quick test based on your test script to show what I am talking
about.


address@hidden:~/grep-2.12/tests/gt-include-exclude.dQeg/x$ echo : >> a
address@hidden:~/grep-2.12/tests/gt-include-exclude.dQeg/x$ echo : >> b
address@hidden:~/grep-2.12/tests/gt-include-exclude.dQeg/x$ grep  :  *
a::
b::
address@hidden:~/grep-2.12/tests/gt-include-exclude.dQeg/x$ grep  --include=a : 
*
b::
address@hidden:~/grep-2.12/tests/gt-include-exclude.dQeg/x$ grep  --exclude=a : 
*
b::
address@hidden:~/grep-2.12/tests/gt-include-exclude.dQeg/x$ grep  --exclude=*a 
: 
*
b::
address@hidden:~/grep-2.12/tests/gt-include-exclude.dQeg/x$ grep  --include=*a 
: 
*
b::
address@hidden:~/grep-2.12/tests/gt-include-exclude.dQeg/x$ grep  --include=*b 
: 
*
a::
