Subject: builtin-grep: workaround for non GNU grep.
X-Git-Tag: v1.4.0-rc1~117^2~1
X-Git-Url: https://git.verplant.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=518920b764ee9150781e68217181b24d0712748e;p=git.git

builtin-grep: workaround for non GNU grep.

Some implementations do not know what to do with -H; define
NO_H_OPTION_IN_GREP when you build git if your grep lacks -H.

Most of the time, it can be worked around by prepending
/dev/null to the argument list, but that causes -L and -c to
slightly misbehave (they both expose /dev/null is given), so
when these options are given, do not run external grep that does
not understand -H.
