Hello, it seems that git grep doesn't do word boundaries as described: $ cat bar foo bar baz $ grep "\<bar\>" * foo bar baz $ git grep "\<bar\>" * $ git grep -w "\<bar\>" * $ git grep -w "bar" * bar:foo bar baz $ git grep -E "\<bar\>" * $ git grep -E "\bbar\b" * $ thanks, Thomas -- 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
