There are also occasional bug reports on the Git mailing list, like this one about `git grep`: https://public-inbox.org/git/CAGHpTB+fQccqR8SF2_dS3itboKd79238KCFRe4-3PZz6bpr3iQ@mail.gmail.com/T/#u

You can also search the Git mailing list archive for `#leftoverbits`:

https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=%23leftoverbits

(Of course, caveat emptor, some of those #leftoverbits might have been addressed in the meantime, others might not reproduce for you, yet others might not be considered bugs or worth fixing...)

Ciao, Johannes
