What is the supposed behaviour of -F (--fixed-strings) when combined I won't have time right now to comment on the previous three, because they are not my code (meaning, I need to dig around before I can intelligently answer -- maybe when I have free time). What you expected does sound very sensible, though. > 4. Logical AND/OR operation. The --grep and --author search of "log" family shares git-grep logical expression engine, so if you somehow can come up with a way to pass --and (or even better, --all-match) from the command line just like we can give them to git-grep, searching with combinations of and/or/not should be doable.
