I actually wonder if we should have a build-time knob to put "grep -a" into sane_grep(). We do not ever plan to feed it binary data, so that will do what, provided the system grep handles "-a". And on those that do not know about "-a", one imagines that they do not suffer from this problem in the first place (which is really limited to recent versions of GNU grep). -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
