Hi, I've not found information about that in documentation, so I do a report. When using git grep, symbolic links are not followed. Is it a wanted behavior ? I've tested with a symbolic link: - 'ignored' - NOT staged for commit - to be commited - commited Anytime -> no result when asking on symbolic link Example: # git grep foo mySrc -> OK answer [...] # ln -s mySrc test # git grep foo test -> KO: No answer # git add test # git grep foo test -> KO: No answer # git commit -m "DO NOT PUSH" test # git grep foo test -> KO: No answer Best Regards, Bertrand -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
