[PATCH/RFC 0/4] grep: support to match by line number

This series will teach git grep to match at specified line numbers. This is particular usefull, if you want to see the lines which emits warnings or errors from a build run (where you only get the line number) and present it nicely to the user with function and context lines.

The implementation is split-up into preperation patches which are only noise:

Bert Wesarg (4):
  grep: prepare for re-using the space of the regexp member in struct
    grep_pat

    This one moves the regexp member into an union, so that we can later re-use
    the space for the line number information.

  grep: pass current line number down to match_one_pattern

    To actually match at the line number, the function match_one_pattern needs
    to know the current line number, do it with this patch.

  grep: introduce pattern which matches at line number

    This implements the line number matching in the low level grep machinery.

  grep: provide option to match line number

    And lastly, this exposes the new feature by a new -@ option to git grep.

Patch 5 will than support comma separated line ranges as argument to -@, but this work has not yet started.
