[PATCH 5/6] grep: allow to use textconv filters

Message-ID
<2e4b789c1578660b8b62eabd9e0418a3edbc8f6a.1366389739.git.git@drmicha.warpmail.net>

<cover.1366389739.git.git@drmicha.warpmail.net>
From: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

Recently and not so recently, we made sure that log/grep type operations use textconv filters when a userfacing diff would do the same:

ef90ab6 (pickaxe: use textconv for -S counting, 2012-10-28) b1c2f57 (diff_grep: use textconv buffers for add/deleted files, 2012-10-28) 0508fe5 (combine-diff: respect textconv attributes, 2011-05-23)

"git grep" currently does not use textconv filters at all, that is neither for displaying the match and context nor for the actual grepping.

Introduce an option "--textconv" which makes git grep use any configured textconv filters for grepping and output purposes. It is off by default.
