D7146: [RFC] grep: add config option to grep PWD by default

[mharbison72 (Matt Harbison)]

mharbison72 added a comment.


  I lean towards searching the whole repo by default, for the reasons that Jordi listed, especially consistency with other hg commands.
  
  I almost never `hg grep` from the command line, and typically search in TortoiseHg instead.  But there, I always want it to search everything by default, unless I start passing `-X`.  (I realize a change here doesn't mean it has to change in thg, just relaying my typical usage and expectations.)
  
  I do think a config option to swap the default is reasonable, if for no other reason than $PWD is chosen for the default, and I can still get the behavior I'd expect.
