Me. 

There are differences in indexing the arrays between ksh and bash, but I
think the git-grep.sh style of usage should work on both bash and ksh.

Indeed. I just tested the thing I sent out with "ksh git-grep.sh .." and 
it worked fine.

Using "zsh" the grep flags don't work, and "tcsh" obviously will never run
_any_ valid shell code ;)
