A comment on Ack - better than grep, a power search tool for programmers. Parent comment

Re:Ack - better than grep, a power search tool for programmers by frig on Friday December 04, 2009 @09:43AM (#976394)
Just something I had a hard time figuring out and seems poorly documented:

    --type-set=scala=.scala # works in .ackrc
    --type-set scala=.scala # doesn't work in .ackrc
...despite the version with one equals being correct command-line sequence. Only seems to matter if you want each flag on a single line in your .ackrc file. Might not be true for everyone.
