Currently the only way to "quote" a grep pattern that might
begin with a dash is to use "git grep -e pattern". This
works just fine, and is also the way right way to do it on
many traditional grep implemenations.
Some people prefer to use "git grep -- pattern", however, as
"--" is the usual "end of options" marker, and at least GNU
grep and Solaris 10 grep support this. This patch makes that
syntax work.
There is a slight behavior change, in that "git grep -- $X"
used to be interpreted as "grep for -- in $X". However, that
usage is questionable. "--" is usually the end-of-options
marker, so "git grep" was unlike many other greps in
treating it as a literal pattern (e.g., both GNU grep and
Solaris 10 grep will treat "grep --" as missing a pattern).

Teach "git grep" a new "-q" option to report the presense of a match via
its exit status without showing any output, similar to how "grep -q"
works. Internally "grep" engine already knew this "status-only" mode of
operation because it needed to grep inside log message to filter commits
when called from the "git log" machinery, and this patch only exposes it
to the command line tool.
A somewhat unfair benchmark in the Linux kernel directory shows a dramatic
improvement:
(with patch)
$ time ../git.git/git grep -q linux HEAD ; echo $?
real 0m0.030s
user 0m0.004s
sys 0m0.004s
0
(without patch)
$ time git grep linux HEAD >/dev/null; echo $?
real 0m4.432s
user 0m4.272s
sys 0m0.076s
0
This is "somewhat unfair" because I knew a file with such a string comes
very early in the tree traversal (namely, ".gitignore").

Just like some people wanted diff features that are not found in
other people's diff implementations outside of a git repository
and added --no-index mode to the command, this adds --no-index mode
to the "git grep" command.
Also, inside a git repository, --no-index mode allows you to grep
in untracked (but not ignored) files.

This moves the call to setup_git_directory() for running "grep" from
the "git" wrapper to the implementation of the "grep" subcommand. A
new variable "use_index" is always true at this stage in the series,
and when it is on, we require that we are in a directory that is under
git control. To make sure we die the same way, we make a second call
into setup_git_directory() when we detect this situation.

The -L (--files-without-match) option is supposed to show paths that
produced no matches. When running the internal grep on work tree files,
however, we had an optimization to just return on zero-sized files,
without doing anything.
This optimization doesn't matter too much in practice (a tracked empty
file must be rare, or there is something wrong with your project); to
produce results consistent with GNU grep, we should stop the optimization
and show empty files as not having the given pattern.

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.

Add the config variable color.grep.external, which can be used to
switch on coloring of external greps. To enable auto coloring with
GNU grep, one needs to set color.grep.external to --color=always to
defeat the pager started by git grep. The value of the config
variable will be passed to the external grep only if it would
colorize internal grep's output, so automatic terminal detected
works. The default is to not pass any option, because the external
grep command could be a program without color support.
Also set the environment variables GREP_COLOR and GREP_COLORS to
pass the configured color for matches to the external grep. This
works with GNU grep; other variables could be added as needed.
