Subject: BUG: git grep behave oddly with alternatives
Message-ID: <f82ae28a-fb56-8d1f-96c8-550b61439d3a@enterprisedb.com>

I've installed latest git from brew and suddenly git grep started 
behaving oddly when using alternatives.

```
$ echo abd > test.file
$ git grep --untracked 'a\(b\|c\)d' test.file
$ git grep --untracked 'a\(b\)d' test.file
test.file:abd
```

It should have matched in both cases.


If I switch to exented pattern it starts working again

```
$ git grep --untracked -E 'a(b|c)d' test.file
test.file:abd
```
