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.
