Specific options does not overwrite the global options from .jshintrc

[exos]

According the documentation the specific options replaces the global ones, but, It's does not work, I have:

Gruntfile.js (Not complete)

jshint: {
        options: {
            jshintrc: true
        },
        grunt: {
            options: {
                "maxlen": false,
                "strict": false
            },
            files: {
                src: 'Gruntfile.js'
            }
        },
        lib: {
            options: {
            },
            files: {
                src: [
                    'index.js',
                    'lib/*.js',
                    'lib/**/*.js'
                ]
            }
        }

    }
  });

.jshintrc (only the replaced options)

    "strict"        : true, 
    "maxlen"     : 80,

And when I run "grunt" command (with the jshint by default), I get this:

Running "jshint:grunt" (jshint) task

   Gruntfile.js
      5 |  grunt.initConfig({
           ^ Missing "use strict" statement.
     11 |        ' * Copyright (c) <%= grunt.template.today("yyyy") %> <%= pkg.author %>;' + '\n' +
                                                                                                  ^ Line is too long.
     12 |        ' * License: <%= _.pluck(pkg.licenses, "type").join(", ") %> (<%= _.pluck(pkg.licenses, "url").join(", ") %>)' + '\n' +
                                                                                                                                       ^ Line is too long.

Same problem.

+1 I saw in the changelog that this was done in v0.3.0 on 2013-03-13 and reverted immediately in v0.4.0 on 2013-04-04.

Is there a reason this was removed? I'd find it very useful.

_EDIT_\ For anyone experiencing this, you can place a second .jshintrc within the directory of secondary grunt target and it will match the first .jshintrc found above the file it's linting.

Hope this helps!
