X-Git-Tag: emacs-20.3~523
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1ffddaf4d4c079452ac0b5f935cef2281a99780e;p=emacs.git

(grep-command): Initialize to nil.
(grep-find-command): Initialize to nil.
(grep-find-use-xargs): Initialize to nil.
(grep-compute-defaults): New function, sets those three vars properly.
(grep, grep-find): Call grep-compute-defaults if ...command variable
is still nil.
