Instead of setting GREP_OPTIONS in your dotfiles, I recommend setting an alias in your ~/.bashrc: alias grep='grep -nHI --exclude=\*.svn-base' since aliases do not propagate into other scripts.
A patch to sanitize GREP_OPTIONS appeared a little while ago on the upstream mailing list, but so far it has not been committed: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/127980 If you still think this is a bug, I recommend following up with upstream. -- GREP_OPTIONS variable hinders interactive git-rebase functionality https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/398393 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
