From 0c5d83b2484c027971b793c442d147979c7e1a04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matheus Tavares Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2021 16:43:28 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] grep: error out if --untracked is used with --cached The options --untracked and --cached are not compatible, but if they are used together, grep just silently ignores --cached and searches the working tree. Error out, instead, to avoid any potential confusion.
