git-grep: fix 'git grep -e $pattern' handling

2005-09-24T22:09:48Z

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. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Improve "git grep" flags handling

2005-09-13T02:15:02Z

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.] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

[PATCH] Add "git grep" helper

2005-09-12T20:20:03Z

Very convenient shorthand for git-ls-files [file-patterns] | xargs grep which I tend to do all the time. Yes, it's trivial, but it's really nice. I can do git grep '\' 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.
