Eric Haszlakiewicz tried to submit a patch to grep to add --exclude-dir
to grep. Primarily for SVN or CVS usage so .svn or CVS directories can
be skipped when searching. His patch was rejected by upstream (see
page), but I have modifed it for applying to HEAD and submit to you
with the hope you might include it in the .deb and/or punt it upstream
as it is clearly a very desirable feature!
