[PATCH v2 2/2] grep: use '/' delimiter for paths

From

In-Reply-To
<20170120171126.16269-1-stefanha@redhat.com>

If the tree contains a sub-directory then git-grep(1) output contains a colon character instead of a path separator:

  $ 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 attempts to use the correct delimiter:
  $ 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
  (success)
