Public bug reported: It has started happening to me recently, than when I do:
> grep -R something besides the normal expected output which is of the form: filename: match filename: match ... I also get some lines like this: clean:filename: match where the word "clean" appears literally. The matches that are shown in this form also appear in the normal form without the "clean:" prefix, so in total they show up twice. And I have checked that I have no files whose filename actually starts with "clean:" I have checked the manpage for grep and there's no occurrence of the word "clean", so if that "clean:" is supposed to actually mean something (besides being counterintuitive and being a shitty inconsistent format, and besides the fact it wouldn't make sense to show the matches twice), it's not documented.
