Now --exclude-dir has been added, bug #11017 should probably be closed as "Wontdo".  And the resolution on patch #3521 could be changed to "Done", with maybe a short 'half of it' comment.

The man and info page text of --exclude-dir should be changed to follow that of --include, to make clear that DIR isn't a regular expression but a wildcard pattern.  So instead of "Exclude directories matching the pattern DIR from recursive searches", something like: "Exclude from recursive searches the directories whose base name matches DIR (using wildcard matching as described under  --exclude)".

The period at the end of --help description of --exclude-dir should be removed (grep.c line 1475), to match the other lines.

This patch adds an --exclude-dir=PATTERN option to grep. Directories matching the pattern will be excluded from recursive directory searches.  This is especially useful when grep'ing thru a source tree managed by Subversion (grep -r --exclude-dir='.svn' term).
