Suppose you want to edit all files that contain a specific search term.
Of course, you can do something totally trivial such as
git grep -z -e <term> | xargs -0r vi +/<term>
but maybe you are happy that the same will be achieved by
git grep -Ovi <term>
now.

This adds an option to open the matching files in the pager, and if the
pager happens to be "less" (or "vi") and there is only one grep pattern,
it also jumps to the first match right away.
The short option was chose as '-O' to avoid clashes with GNU grep's
options (as suggested by Junio).
So, 'git grep -O abc' is a short form for 'less +/abc $(grep -l abc)'
except that it works also with spaces in file names, and it does not
start the pager if there was no matching file.

Make git-branch, git-show-branch, git-grep, and all the diff-based
programs accept an optional argument <when> for --color. The argument
is a colorbool: "always", "never", or "auto". If no argument is given,
"always" is used; --no-color is an alias for --color=never. This makes
the command-line interface consistent with other GNU tools, such as `ls'
and `grep', and with the git-config color options. Note that, without
an argument, --color and --no-color work exactly as before.
To implement this, two internal changes were made:
1. Allow the first argument of git_config_colorbool() to be NULL,
in which case it returns -1 if the argument isn't "always", "never",
or "auto".
2. Add OPT_COLOR_FLAG(), OPT__COLOR(), and parse_opt_color_flag_cb()
to the option parsing library. The callback uses
git_config_colorbool(), so color.h is now a dependency
of parse-options.c.

Clarify that git-grep(1) searches only tracked files, and that each
<pathspec> is a pathspec, as in any other ordinary git commands.
Add an example to show a simple use case for searching all .c and .h

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.
The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.
Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

It is useful to grep directories non-recursively, e.g. when one wants to
look for all files in the toplevel directory, but not in any subdirectory,
or in Documentation/, but not in Documentation/technical/.
This patch adds support for --max-depth <depth> option to git-grep. If it is
given, git-grep descends at most <depth> levels of directories below paths
specified on the command line.
Note that if path specified on command line contains wildcards, this option
makes no sense, e.g.
$ git grep -l --max-depth 0 GNU -- 'contrib/*'
(note the quotes) will search all files in contrib/, even in
subdirectories, because '*' matches all files.
Documentation updates, bash-completion and simple test cases are also
provided.

The new option -p instructs git grep to print the previous function
definition as a context line, similar to diff -p. Such context lines
are marked with an equal sign instead of a dash. This option
complements the existing context options -A, -B, -C.
Function definitions are detected using the same heuristic that diff
uses. User defined regular expressions are not supported, yet.

Coloring matches makes them easier to spot in the output.
Add two options and two parameters: color.grep (to turn coloring on
or off), color.grep.match (to set the color of matches), --color
and --no-color (to turn coloring on or off, respectively).
The output of external greps is not changed.
This patch is based on earlier ones by Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy and
Thiago Alves.

Here's a trivial patch that adds "-z" and "--null" options to "git
grep". It was discussed on the mailing-list that git's "-z"
convention should be used instead of GNU grep's "-Z".
So things like 'git grep -l -z "$FOO" | xargs -0 sed -i "s/$FOO/$BOO/"'
do work now.

The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the
commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics,
as is usual for command names in manpages.
Using
doit () {
perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }'
}
for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \
merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt
do
doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i"
done
git diff
.

Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.
While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list
of the options a git command accepts.
Currently there are several variants to describe the case that
different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section.
Some are:
-f, --foo::
-f|--foo::
-f | --foo::
But AsciiDoc has the special form:
-f::
--foo::
This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite,
and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

Asciidoc configuration:

# Inline macros.

# (?s) re flag for line spanning.

This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this
case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline
macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being
matched by the wrong regex.

This lets you say:
git grep --all-match -e A -e B -e C
to find lines that match A or B or C but limit the matches from
the files that have all of A, B and C.
This is different from
git grep -e A --and -e B --and -e C
in that the latter looks for a single line that has all of these
at the same time.

By default, the command shows pathnames relative to the current
directory. Use --full-name (the same flag to do so in ls-files)
if you want to see the full pathname relative to the project root.
This makes it very pleasant to run in Emacs compilation (or
"grep-find") buffer.

We forgot to make sure that there is no more than one pattern
parameter. Also when looking for files in a directory called
'--others', it passed that path limiter without preceding the
end-of-options marker '--' to underlying git-ls-files, which
misunderstood it as one of its options instead.
$ git grep --others -e Meta/Make Meta
$ git grep -o -e Meta/Make Meta
$ git grep -o Meta/Make Meta
look for a string "Meta/Make" from untracked files in Meta/
directory.
$ git grep Meta/Make --others
looks for the same string from tracked files in ./--others
directory.
On the other hand,
$ git grep -e Meta/Make --others
does not have a freestanding pattern, so everybody is parameter
and there is no path specifier. It looks for the string in all
the untracked files without any path limiter.
