Happy to review the updates, though.How about the below? *** Commands that use 'grep-find' now follow symlinks for command-line args.
^grep-find-template, right?
This is because the default value of 'grep-find-template' now includes the 'find' option '-H'. Commands that use that variable, including indirectly via a call to 'xref-matches-in-directory', will be affected. In particular, there should be no need anymore to ensure any directory names on the 'find' command lines end in a slash.
Looks good.
However, the change is likely to affect only old versions of non-GNU 'find'.
Not exactly: the change (as described above) will affect all versions everywhere.
What is special about "old versions of non-GNU 'find'", is that the previous scheme (ensuring directory names end in a slash) created problems when used together with them.
We might also want to mention macOS specifically, otherwise the change sounds a bit ridiculous (why do we go out of the way to be compatible with ancient versions of 'find'?)
