Earlier I use to find exact details like this important, but not so much any more. Having said this, I find it annoying if I get lots of unwanted results if I try to do something like: find . -type f | xargs grep abc or grep -r abc . I believe this is a problem with subversion, bazaar (possibly OK if you use revision libraries), bazaar-ng, as they keep copies of old files available under a subdirectory for caching. Yes, some programs will generate a list of files, but this can cause other problems, e.g. slowness, filenames with spaces, filtering out directories, etc. Monotone looks a lot better... -- Brian May
