find-grep-dired: skip .git

[Torsten Bronger]

Hallöchen!

I think my find-grep-dired actions lose a lot of time in .git
subdirs.  Can I tell Emacs somehow to skip them always?

Tschö,
Torsten.

Although this is not what you ask for, you might try ‘grep’ using the
following value of ‘grep-command’:

git --no-pager grep -nH -Ee ''

(you put the regexp between those quotes).


Alternatively, you might try diving into sources of ‘find-grep-dired’
and getting dired to run on the result of “git --no-pager grep -l -Ee
'your_regex' | xargs ls”, but this assumes you are on a unix-like
system.

From "grep --help":

   --exclude-dir=PATTERN  directories that match PATTERN will be skipped.

Unfortunately, find-grep-dired calls grep file by file.

Tschö,
Torsten.

Dunno, but here is an idea. Below is what igrep-find uses not to search in
RCS/CVS/SCCS directories:

find ~/src -type d \( -name RCS -o -name CVS -o -name SCCS \) -prune -o -follow -type f \! -name \*~ \! -name \*\,v \! -name s.\* \! -name .\#\* -name \*.\[ch\]\* -print0 | xargs -0 -e grep -n  -e PATTERN  /dev/null
