bug#33699: Multi-component paths ignored by --{exclude, include}-dir ?

Oh whoops, almost forgot to mention the version of grep I'm using: grep-3.1-8.fc29 on Fedora 29 I've also checked through the source files for Fedora's grep package, and confirmed there's no patches getting applied that would modify the behavior of --exclude and friends. On Mon, 2018-12-10 at 18
