From: Junio C Hamano Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2016 23:58:35 GMT Subject: [PATCH v4 20/21] grep: read -f file with strbuf_getline() Message-ID: <1452815916-6447-21-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com> In-Reply-To: <1452815916-6447-1-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com> List of patterns file could come from a DOS editor. This is iffy; you may actually be trying to find a line with ^M in it on a system whose line ending is LF. You can of course work it around by having a line that has "^M^M^J", let the strbuf_getline() eat the last "^M^J", leaving just the single "^M" as the pattern.
