You still need to type, but it'll be a lot shorter.
If it's an attribute of the file, and not the request, maybe gitattributes would be a better fit. You can already do this with: *.foo -diff in your .gitattributes file, though that _also_ marks the files as "not for diffing", which may not be desired. There's not a separate "grep" attribute, but I do not think it would be unreasonable to add one. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
