Re: Improve "git grep" flags handling

Linus Torvalds [off-list ref] writes:

+  # git-ls-file specific flags
+  --others|--exclude=*|--exclude-from=*|--exclude-per-directory=*)
+      git_flags="$git_flags $pattern"
+      shift
+      ;;

This would not fly well, I am afraid.  --exclude=* are usually
shell globs which would be expanded before you use them
unquoted.
