Found by running this command: $ git ls-files -z|xargs -0 perl -0777 -n \ -e 'while (/\b(then?|[iao]n|i[fst]|but|f?or|at|and|[dt]o)\s+\1\b/gims)' \ -e ' {' \ -e ' $n = ($` =~ tr/\n/\n/ + 1);' \ -e ' ($v = $&) =~ s/\n/\\n/g;' \ -e ' print "$ARGV:$n:$v\n";' \ -e ' }' Why not just git grep -E ...? That wouldn't work then the doubled words are separated by a newline.
