Details:
The following command is bafflingly a no-op:
grep -r --ignore-dir='.*' foo .
It took me a while to realize what was going on, partially because the man
page is confusing about whether --ignore-dir accepts a glob, or a regex, or
neither.
The problem is that the --ignore-dir option is overriding the fact that I
explicitly told grep to search ".". I think any files/dirs explicitly passed
on the command line should override any ignore options.
