emacs -Q
M-x lgrep
Search for: foo
Search for "foo" in files matching wildcard (default all): all
In directory: ~/foobar
will always output this error if you don't have any filename starting
with two dots:
grep: ..?*: No such file or directory
Grep exited abnormally with code 2
I noticed "..?*" was introduced here:
commit ref: 856cd948d1a5a016ad36721246a049d33451902f
after reviewing bug #22577 (archived):
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=22577
Now that Emacs is smarter at quoting shell commands (at least on 27.2),
"* .[!.]* ..?*" seems overcomplicated and no longer necessary.
I couldn't reproduce bug #22577 with vc-git-grep as mentioned, using
both BSD and GNU grep on Linux, Windows and macOS.
Since "* .*" works as expected again, and doesn't produce the error of
"..?*", I think it should be reverted back into grep-files-aliases.
Lastly, to avoid such messages when using lgrep:
grep: foobar: Is a directory
We could add the parameter --directories=skip by default, since lgrep is
not for recursive search.

Done.
@ Maxence Dutielt : please open a new issue for discussing the
--directories=skip change you propose. Thank you.
