[patch #7577] `grep -lc' to show only matching files

[Paolo Bonzini]

Update of patch #7577 (project grep):

                  Status:                    None => In Progress

Follow-up Comment #2:

I don't understand what you mean by "garbled output from both options".  "grep
-lc" here gives exactly the same output as "grep -l".  I understand why the
patch is nice to have, but personally I would never have thought of specifying
them together. :)

Also the help shows they are contradicting:

-l, --files-with-matches *only* print FILE names containing matches
-c, --count *only* print a count of matching lines per FILE 

(emphasis on "only" added).  Right now, my acceptance of the patch is
conditioned on tweaking the help text or documentation to make the expected
behavior clear.
