Subject: bug#17481: Mini bug with option --exclude-dir
Date: Mon, 12 May 2014 13:46:31 -0700

Severity: minor

Thanks for the bug report.  Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to 
get to this before the next grep release, but is a reasonable thing to 
do so I'll resend this to bug-grep so that it gets a proper bug report 
number (we're using a new bug-reporting system).
