Related test case for above notes 1-2: ``` $ ls # start with empty directory $ echo abcd | ack b. --nofilter # nothing, as expected $ echo xbyz >./-...

Also, I got around this bug by redirecting ack's stdin from /dev/null, since it doesn't need stdin and it just happened to be a pipe in what I was doing.

I was abusing ack to parse per-project .ackrc files and for its other file type ignoring, but I needed to include directories as well: ``` find -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1...

Another option to the three for expected behavior I listed above: use the presence/absence of --[no]filter to determine what to do. Specifically: - `echo abcd | ack b. file` -...

There are two purposes: (1) efficiency, being considerably faster to display dirty-or-clean, depending on repo size and modifications, with "hg identify" than storing the full "hg status" for grep, and...
