Hi,

I ran into this the other day when I was looking at jgit's log history. I retested today with the latest master branch, and it does the same thing.

So... what am I doing wrong?
	git clone git://repo.or.cz/egit/spearce.git bsd
	git log |grep "^Author:" | sort | uniq
	# note the user: Thad Hughes <thadh@thad.corp.google.com>
	# nothing appears for these commands
	git log --grep="thadh@thad.corp.google.com"
	git log --grep="google.com"
	git log --grep="thadh"
	# this works
	git log --author="thadh@thad.corp.google.com"
	# this works
	git log | grep thadh@thad.corp.google.com
