rgrep sends directories needlessly to grep |

Gentlemen, I used the same string as e.g.,
(rgrep "bla" "*" "~/mediawiki/")
produced, and instead appended fgrep, and found
$ find . \( -path \*/CVS -o -path \*/.svn -o -path \*/\{arch\} -o -path \*/.hg
-o -path \*/_darcs -o -path \*/.git -o -path \*/.bzr \) -prune -o -type f \(
-name \* \)|fgrep -c .svn
62
That's right, 62 .svn's, when you thought you had eliminated them. They
are all directories.
OK, now putting the print inside ( ),
$ cd ~/mediawiki/;find . -path \*/.svn -prune -o \( -type f \( -name \* \)
-print \)|fgrep .svn
./math/.svnignore
./tests/.svnignore
Which were put there by the staff, so we have indeed eliminated what we
need to!
Therefore consider putting your ...-print0 inside a ( )!
Also only one space is needed between "-o -type f".
(Of course grep doesn't give an error when given a directory.)

Hard for me to remember too. So I'll close it.
