1:foo
2:foo
cseraphi@DESK 14:48:00 /tmp/test$ grep --exclude 1 -H foo *
2:foo
cseraphi@DESK 14:48:03 /tmp/test$ grep --include 1 -H foo *
2:foo

Additional info:
We're experiencing strange behavior with grep that appears to be a known bug in 2.6.3.

As you can see in the release notes below, 2.7 specifically mentions --include not working

As an addendum-- in recursive mode, --include seems to work properly on subdirs.  Stuff specifically named on the command line behaves very differently from stuff brought in implicitly by recursion.

cseraphi@DESK 14:53:04 /tmp/test$ echo foo >1 ; echo foo > 2 ; echo foo > subdir/10; echo foo > subdir/20
cseraphi@DESK 14:53:12 /tmp/test$ grep --include 1 -H foo *
2:foo
cseraphi@DESK 14:53:17 /tmp/test$ grep -r --include 1 -H foo *
2:foo
cseraphi@DESK 14:53:20 /tmp/test$ grep -r --include 10 -H foo *
1:foo
2:foo
subdir/10:foo
cseraphi@DESK 14:53:34 /tmp/test$ grep -r --include 10 -H foo .
./subdir/10:foo


The commitdiff for the patch that our user seems to be referring to (http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=grep.git;a=commitdiff;h=9c45c193825d1f59e1d341e556ecf4adeb7a03a2) seems to basically show a '!' being dropped from a conditional
