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.

While we're at it, also unset GREP_COLOR and GREP_COLORS in case colouring
is not enabled, to be on the safe side. The presence of these variables
alone is not sufficient to trigger coloured output with GNU grep, but
other implementations may behave differently.

"git grep" currently an error when you combine the -F and -i flags.
This isn't in line with how GNU grep handles it.
This patch allows the simultaneous use of those flags.

"git grep" would segfault if its -f option was used because it would
try to use an uninitialized strbuf, so initialize the strbuf.

"git grep" would barf at relative paths pointing outside the current
working directory (or subdirectories thereof). Use quote_path_relative(),
which can handle such cases just fine.

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.

Print a hunk mark before matches from a new file are shown, in addition
to the current behaviour of printing them if lines have been skipped.
The result is easier to read, as (presumably unrelated) matches from
different files are separated by a hunk mark. GNU grep does the same.

After bol is forwarded, it doesn't represent the beginning of the line
any more. This means that the beginning-of-line marker (^) mustn't match,
i.e. the regex flag REG_NOTBOL needs to be set.

("grep -w: forward to next possible position after rejected match").

* maint-1.6.0:
grep: fix segfault when "git grep '('" is given
Documentation: fix a grammatical error in api-builtin.txt
builtin-merge: fix a typo in an error message
"Assume unchanged" bit means "please pretend that I have never touched
this file", so if user removes the file, we should not care.
This patch teaches "git grep" to use cache version in such
situations. External grep case has not been fixed yet. But given that
on the platform that CE_VALID bit may be used like Windows, external
grep is not available anyway, I would wait for people to raise their
hands before touching it.

We try to avoid using the "-q" or "-e" options, as they are
largely useless, as explained in aadbe44f.
There is one exception for "-e" here, which is in t7701 used
to produce an "or" of patterns. This can be rewritten as an
egrep pattern.
This patch also removes use of "grep -F" in favor of the
more widely available "fgrep".

When we tried to find commits done by AUTHOR, the first implementation
tried to pattern match a line with "^author .*AUTHOR", which later was
enhanced to strip leading caret and look for "^author AUTHOR" when the
search pattern was anchored at the left end (i.e. --author="^AUTHOR").
This had a few problems:
* When looking for fixed strings (e.g. "git log -F --author=x --grep=y"),
the regexp internally used "^author .*x" would never match anything;
* To match at the end (e.g. "git log --author='google.com>$'"), the
generated regexp has to also match the trailing timestamp part the
commit header lines have. Also, in order to determine if the '$' at
the end means "match at the end of the line" or just a literal dollar
sign (probably backslash-quoted), we would need to parse the regexp
ourselves.
An earlier alternative tried to make sure that a line matches "^author "
(to limit by field name) and the user supplied pattern at the same time.
While it solved the -F problem by introducing a special override for
matching the "^author ", it did not solve the trailing timestamp nor tail
match problem. It also would have matched every commit if --author=author
was asked for, not because the author's email part had this string, but
because every commit header line that talks about the author begins with
that field name, regardleses of who wrote it.
Instead of piling more hacks on top of hacks, this rethinks the grep
machinery that is used to look for strings in the commit header, and makes
sure that (1) field name matches literally at the beginning of the line,
followed by a SP, and (2) the user supplied pattern is matched against the
remainder of the line, excluding the trailing timestamp data.

Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite
of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision. Most tests
run a series of commands that leads to the single command that
needs to be tested, like this:
test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
what is to be tested
'
And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the
point of writing tests. Your setup$N that are supposed to
succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are
trying to test. The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to
check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which
is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands.
This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to
use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is
tested, like this:
test_expect_success 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
! this command should fail
'
test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that
that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it
currently does not pass. So if git-foo command should create a
file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can
write a test like this:
test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' '
rm -f bar &&
git foo &&
test -f bar
'
This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead
of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the
outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

In order to (almost) always show the name of the file without
relying on "-H" option of GNU grep, we used to add /dev/null to
the argument list unless we are doing -l or -L. This caused
"/dev/null:0" to show up when -c is given in the output.
It is not enough to add -c to the set of options we do not pass
/dev/null for. When we have too many files, we invoke grep
multiple times and we need to avoid giving a widow filename to
the last invocation -- otherwise we will not see the name.
This keeps two filenames when the argv[] buffer is about to
overflow and we have not finished iterating over the index, so
that the last round will always have at least two paths to work
with (and not require /dev/null).
An obvious and the only exception is when there is only 1 file
that is given to the underlying grep, and in that case we avoid
passing /dev/null and let the external "grep -c" report only the
number of matches.

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 used to find the first match of the pattern and then if the
match is not for the entire word, declared that the whole line
does not match.
But that is wrong. The command "git grep -w -e mmap" should
find that a line "foo_mmap bar mmap baz" matches, by tring the
second instance of pattern "mmap" on the same line.
Problems an earlier round of "fix" had were pointed out by Morten
Welinder, which have been incorporated in the t7002 tests.
