[PATCH v2 1/2] grep: only add delimiter if there isn't one already

From
SHStefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
Date
Jan 20, 2017, 17:11 UTC
Message-ID
<20170120171126.16269-2-stefanha@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To
<20170120171126.16269-1-stefanha@redhat.com>
git-grep(1) output does not follow git's own syntax:
  $ git grep malloc v2.9.3:t/
  v2.9.3:t/:test-lib.sh:  setup_malloc_check () {
  $ git show v2.9.3:t/:test-lib.sh
  fatal: Path 't/:test-lib.sh' does not exist in 'v2.9.3'

This patch avoids emitting the unnecessary ':' delimiter if the name already ends with ':' or '/':

  $ git grep malloc v2.9.3:
  v2.9.3:t/test-lib.sh:   setup_malloc_check () {
  $ git show v2.9.3:t/test-lib.sh
  (succeeds)
