For some reason I've done a "git grep" twice with no pattern, which is
really irritating, since it just grep everything. If I actually wanted
that, I could do "git grep ^" or something.
So add a "usage" message if the pattern is empty.

People typically say 'grep -e $pattern' because $pattern has a leading
dash which would be mistaken as a grep flag. Make sure we pass -e in
front of $pattern when we invoke grep.

This allows any arbitrary flags to "grep", and knows about the few
special grep flags that take an argument too.
It also allows some flags for git-ls-files, although their usefulness
is questionable.
With this, something line
git grep -w -1 pattern
works, without the script enumerating every possible flag.
[jc: this is the version Linus sent out after I showed him a
barf-o-meter test version that avoids shell arrays. He must
have typed this version blindly, since he said:
I'm not barfing, but that's probably because my brain just shut
down and is desperately trying to gouge my eyes out with a spoon.
I slightly fixed it to catch the remaining arguments meant to be
given git-ls-files.]

Very convenient shorthand for
git-ls-files [file-patterns] | xargs grep <pattern>
which I tend to do all the time.
Yes, it's trivial, but it's really nice. I can do
git grep '\<some_variable\>' arch/i386 include/asm-i386
and it does exactly what you'd think it does. And since it just uses the
normal git-ls-files file patterns, you can do things like
git grep something 'include/*.h'
and it will search all header files under the include/ subdirectory.
