7c5f3cc4a5 grep: use get_pathspec() correctly
When there is no remaining string in argv, get_pathspec(prefix, argv)
will return a two-element array that has prefix as the first element,
so there is no need to re-roll that logic in the code that uses
get_pathspec().

cca2c172e0 git-grep: do not die upon -F/-P when grep.extendedRegexp is set.
The previous one made "git grep -P" fail when grep.extendedRegexp is
enabled.  That is a no-starter.  The option on the command line should
just make the command ignore the configured default.  The handling of "-F"
in the existing code has the same problem.

Instead of saying -G/-F/-E/-P incompatible with each other, just allow
the last one win.  That way, you can have "[alias] gr = grep -P" and
use Pcre for everyday work e.g. "git gr ':i?foo'", and append -G to the
aliased command line to override it e.g. "git gr -G '[Ff][Oo][Oo]'".

258a618849 git-grep: Bail out when -P is used with -F or -E
This patch makes git-grep die() when -P is used on command line together
with -E/--extended-regexp or -F/--fixed-strings.

This also makes it bail out when grep.extendedRegexp is enabled.

But `git grep -G -P pattern` and `git grep -E -G -P pattern` still work
because -G and -E set opts.regflags during parse_options() and there is
no way to detect `-G` or `-E -G`.

63e7e9d8b6 git-grep: Learn PCRE
This patch teaches git-grep the --perl-regexp/-P options (naming
borrowed from GNU grep) in order to allow specifying PCRE regexes on the
command line.

PCRE has a number of features which make them more handy to use than
POSIX regexes, like consistent escaping rules, extended character
classes, ungreedy matching etc.

git isn't build with PCRE support automatically. USE_LIBPCRE environment
variable must be enabled (like `make USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease`).

b22520a37c grep: allow -E and -n to be turned on by default via configuration
Add two configration variables grep.extendedRegexp and grep.lineNumbers to
allow the user to skip typing -E and -n on the command line, respectively.

Scripts that are meant to be used by random users and/or in random
repositories now have use -G and/or --no-line-number options as
appropriately to override the settings in the repository or user's
~/.gitconfig settings. Just because the script didn't say "git grep -n" no
longer guarantees that the output from the command will not have line
numbers.

97d0b74a49 Improve tree_entry_interesting() handling code
t_e_i() can return -1 or 2 to early shortcut a search. Current code
may use up to two variables to handle it. One for saving return value
from t_e_i temporarily, one for saving return code 2.

The second variable is not needed. If we make sure the first variable
does not change until the next t_e_i() call, then we can do something
like this:

int ret = 0;

while (...) {
	if (ret != 2) {
		ret = t_e_i();
		if (ret < 0) /* no longer interesting */
			break;
		if (ret == 0) /* skip this round */
			continue;
	}
	/* ret > 0, interesting */
}

9cba13ca5d standardize brace placement in struct definitions
In a struct definitions, unlike functions, the prevailing style is for
the opening brace to go on the same line as the struct name, like so:

 struct foo {
	int bar;
	char *baz;
 };

Indeed, grepping for 'struct [a-z_]* {$' yields about 5 times as many
matches as 'struct [a-z_]*$'.

 is ...  well ...  inconsistent, but all right-thinking people know that
 (a) K&R are _right_ and (b) K&R are right.

is not guaranteed to be free of paths outside the pathspec. Perhaps we

b361888dd5 thread-utils.h: simplify the inclusion
All files that include this header file use the same four line
incantation:

    #ifndef NO_PTHREADS
    #include <pthread.h>
    #include "thread-utils.h"
    #endif

Move the responsibility for that gymnastics to the header file from the

services that are related to threading in thread-utils.h and have them
available to all the threading code.

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.

678e484b7d grep: Add the option '--open-files-in-pager'
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.

30d00c395e grep: refactor grep_objects loop into its own function
Simplify cmd_grep by splitting off the loop that finds matches in a
list of trees.  So now the main part of cmd_grep looks like:

	if (!use_index) {
		int hit = grep_directory(&opt, paths);
		if (use_threads)
			hit |= wait_all();
		return !hit;
	}
	if (!list.nr) {
		if (!cached)
			setup_work_tree();
		int hit = grep_cache(&opt, paths, cached);
		if (use_threads)
			hit |= wait_all;
		return !hit;
	}
	hit = grep_objects(&opt, path, &list);
	if (use_threads)
		hit |= wait_all();
	return !hit;

and is ripe for further refactoring.

431d6e7bc8 grep: enable threading for context line printing
If context lines are to be printed, grep separates them with hunk marks
("--\n").  These marks are printed between matches from different files,
too.  They are not printed before the first file, though.

Threading was disabled when context line printing was enabled because
avoiding to print the mark before the first line was an unsolved
synchronisation problem.  This patch separates the code for printing
hunk marks for the threaded and the unthreaded case, allowing threading
to be turned on together with the common -ABC options.

->show_hunk_mark, which controls printing of hunk marks between files in
show_line(), is now set in grep_buffer_1(), but only if some results
have already been printed and threading is disabled.  The threaded case
is handled in work_done().

81b50f3ce4 Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
	Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
	builtin-shortlog.c     builtin-show-branch.c  builtin-show-ref.c
	builtin-shortlog.o     builtin-show-branch.o  builtin-show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
	builtin-shortlog.c  builtin-shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c

you get

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>		[type]
	builtin/   builtin.h
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c     shortlog.o     show-branch.c  show-branch.o  show-ref.c     show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c  shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c

which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead.  I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.

So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.  But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
