Greetings, I bumped into a problem where git grep thinks files in repo/a/data are binary files when it is invoked from repo/a and repo/data/.gitattributes contains "* binary".
I can reproduce this on 1.7.9.5 and 1.7.10.4. Unfortunately I don't have a newer version at hand. How to reproduce: [pseudo:~/tmp]% git --version git version 1.7.10.4 [pseudo:~/tmp]% git init git-test Initialized empty Git repository in /home/opqdonut/tmp/git-test/.git/ [pseudo:~/tmp]% cd git-test [pseudo:~/tmp/git-test:master()]% mkdir -p a/data [pseudo:~/tmp/git-test:master()]% mkdir data [pseudo:~/tmp/git-test:master()]% echo '* binary' > data/.gitattributes [pseudo:~/tmp/git-test:master()]% echo foo > a/data/foo [pseudo:~/tmp/git-test:master()]% git add -A [pseudo:~/tmp/git-test:master()]% git commit -m "foo" [master (root-commit) 20fafbb] foo 2 files changed, 1 insertion(+) create mode 100644 a/data/foo create mode 100644 data/.gitattributes [pseudo:~/tmp/git-test:master()]% git grep foo a/data/foo:foo [pseudo:~/tmp/git-test:master()]% cd a [pseudo:~/tmp/git-test/a:master()]% git grep foo Binary file data/foo matches (Please CC me on replies, I'm not subscribed to the list.) -- Joel Kaasinen joel.kaasi...@gmail.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
