[PATCH/RFC] git-grep: correct exit code with --quiet and -L

From
Anthony Sottile <asottile@umich.edu>
Date
Aug 18, 2017, 01:38 UTC
Message-ID
<20170818013851.16753-1-asottile@umich.edu>

The handling of `status_only` no longer interferes with the handling of `unmatch_name_only`. `--quiet` no longer affects the exit code when using `-L`/`--files-without-match`.
