Subject: bug#54177: 28.0.91; project-find-regexp misbehaves with ripgrep over tramp/sudo
Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2022 04:45:14 +0200

It shows only one match per file, apparently because the process
invocations over the 'sudo' transport are recognized as working in a
terminal. At least by ripgrep.

To repro:

1. (setq xref-search-program 'ripgrep)
2. C-x C-f /sudo:dgutov <at> localhost:vc/emacs/ RET
3. M-x project-find-regexp RET associative RET
4. Note seeing only one match per file.

FWIW, the fix is really simple:

diff --git a/lisp/progmodes/xref.el b/lisp/progmodes/xref.el
index 0ee7dd5cad..2fd5e19237 100644

Is this okay for Emacs 28?

The problem might affect other Tramp transports as well (for all I
know), or maybe even other platforms. The risk for the fix seems minimal.
