Subject: 23.3; vc-git-grep doesn't link to files when git grep uses colour
Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 11:55:13 +0100

1. disable colour for git by doing the following in a shell: $ git
config --global color.ui never

2. open a file that is in a git repository: (in my case: C-x C-f
~/gxbo/cron.yaml)

3. search for something that exists using vc-git-grep: (in my case: M-x
vc-git-grep RET backend RET * RET ~/gxbo RET)

4. results are returned that links to the files where the results were
found

5. enable colour for git: $ git config --global color.ui always

6. repeat the search with vc-git grep

7. results are just plain text and hitting RET on them gives "no git hit
here".

Compared with using grep, I note that my search term 'backend' is not
highlighted. I don't know if that's related.

Thanks.
