This replacement is correct, but I'm not sure that I necessarily find it
simpler. If we really are concerned about egrep usage, then
if test -n "$(find "$1" | grep -v '^\.$')"
would suffice. But it looks like we are fairly OK with egrep in t (`git
grep 'egrep' -- t | wc -l` turns up 19 matches), so I'm not sure the
change is necessary in the first place.
Thanks,
