Re: [PATCH] grep: -L should show empty files

I'm not that familiar with the code, but wouldn't it be possible to
keep the early abort, but make it dependent on not using the '-L'
flag?

Anything codable is possible to code, but my point was I don't think such
an optimization to avoid reading empty files is worth the time to write
and maintain extra code necessary for it.
