From: Stefan Hajnoczi Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2017 15:03:45 GMT Subject: [RFC 0/2] grep: make output consistent with revision syntax Message-ID: <20170119150347.3484-1-stefanha@redhat.com> git-grep(1)'s output is not consistent with git-rev-parse(1) revision syntax. This means you cannot take "rev:path/to/file.c: foo();" output from git-grep(1) and expect "git show rev:path/to/file.c" to work. See the individual patches for examples of command-lines that produce invalid output. This series is an incomplete attempt at solving the issue. I'm not familiar enough with the git codebase to propose a better solution. Perhaps someone is interested in a proper fix?
