Ok, I have added them. However, there is generally no need to exclude directories from the find, unless the version control systems actually store copies/backups of source files in there, or otherwise use file names which resembles source file names that may confuse the search and give false matches. For CVS, in some cases, the CVS/Base subdir contains copies of modified files. So CVS must be excluded from the search. Does the other VC's do this too in some cases? Or are there other reasons to exclude them from the search? -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
