bug#34621: [PATCH] lisp/progmodes/grep.el (grep-read-files): Add file-directory-p check

[Christopher Thorne]

Hello,

This patch fixes a bug in the rgrep command which causes certain
directory names to be mistaken for files with extensions. For example,
when running rgrep in a directory called "django-1.11", rgrep will
prompt with 'Search for "x" in files (default *.11):', under the
assumption that .11 is a file extension. Similarly, creating a
directory called "test.c" and running rgrep inside it results in the
prompt 'Search for "x" in files (default *.[ch])'. With this patch,
the default file extension for directories is either taken from the
rgrep history or set to "all".
