I just thought Kim might like to know... Well, if you post this publicly to the Emacs developer list as a retort to Kim, it appears like you want to argue that searches in subdirectories need not be accommodated by Emacs. Assuming you are on-topic on emacs-devel: Emacs is not just used with GNU grep, and GNU grep having an accidental option available that does part of the job (it does not exclude version control directories) if you use a command line the hard way is, well... -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
