Yes, I understand, but I just don't like using 'grip'. And it would be nice
to have some convention for further not-ready-yet built-in replacements for
script versions of commands, for example adding letter 'b' as 'built-in' at
the beginning of command name: 'bgrep', 'bdiff'. Or use postfix 'n' or
'-ng' to denote transitionary not-ready-yet new version of command:
'grepn', 'diffn' or 'grep-ng', 'diff-ng'.


By the way, [my] grep is linked against libpcre - would it mean that git
would also need to use pcre library, or at least have an option to use it?

I also wonder if anyone would be interested to _force_ using external grep
(probably enhanced)... just a thought.
