Subject: feature request: excluding files/paths from "git grep"
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2015 14:23:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <54EDBEC2.8090107@peralex.com> (raw)

Hi

In our repo (LibreOffice) we have various test files which tend to show up on 'grit grep',
which just generate noise because
(a) they have lots of common keywords that one might search for in them
and
(b) they have very little in the way of linebreaks

So they tend to generate a lot of noise when searching.

What would be nice is a per-user/repo config setting that excludes certain files and paths from the 'git grep' search.

Does this sound reasonable/acceptable?

Thanks, Noel Grandin
