Perhaps quote 'recurse' and 'skip'?

I suspect the patch would shrink significantly if you moved "int recurse" into struct grep_opt, because then you wouln't need to add it as a parameter to the grep_* functions.

This conflicts with a recent change.
It seems your patch still allows recursion, one level deep.  In git's repo:
