In grep 2.22, --exclude no longer works in some cases:

$ cd /usr/share/doc/grep
$ grep e --exclude README README

is OK, but not:

$ grep e --exclude README /usr/share/doc/grep/README

[...]

This breaks at least one of my scripts, where --exclude is used to
exclude filenames generated with globbing.

After reverting to grep 2.21, this problem disappeared.
