Package: git-extras Version: 3.0.0-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch upstream The programs installed by ‘git-extras’ all set the ‘GREP_OPTIONS’ environment variable.
This is deprecated since GNU grep version 2.21:
GREP_OPTIONS
This variable specifies default options to be placed in front
of any explicit options. As this causes problems when writing
portable scripts, this feature will be removed in a future
release of grep, and grep warns if it is used. Please use an
alias or script instead.

The usage in ‘git-extras’ is explicitly described to “reset” the
environment variable.
Setting the environment variable to any value, even the empty string,
triggers a deprecation warning every time ‘grep’ is run.
This should instead be done with the shell's ‘unset’ command. That
will remove the variable from the environment, and avoid the
deprecation warning.
Attached is a patch that fixes the problem.
