Sorry, the comment system do not allow me to use rich-format styles. So I reply Laurent's comment of "wcfind - avoid find(1) into subversion meta directories" here.

Hi, Laurent, There are two ways to let grep(1) to ignore subversion meta directories:

• Just use Ben Reser contribued wcgrep.
• Or, use grep(1) accompany with my wcfind via xargs(1).

The later has an advantage that can let you just grep(1) with a certain kind of files, like:

SHELL> wcfind . -type f -name '*.hpp' | xargs grep bar

which is not possible be done with Ben Reser's wcgrep. This advantage is the main reason for me to wrote wcfind.
