Re: [PATCH] grep: follow conventions for printing paths w/ unusual chars

> grep does not follow the conventions used by other Git commands when
> printing paths that contain unusual characters (as double-quotes or
> newlines). Commands such as ls-files, commit, status and diff will:
>
> - Quote and escape unusual pathnames, by default.
> - Print names verbatim and unquoted when "-z" is used.
>
> But grep *never* quotes/escapes absolute paths with unusual chars and
> *always* quotes/escapes relative ones, even with "-z". Besides being
> inconsistent in its own output, the deviation from other Git commands
> can be confusing. So let's make it follow the two rules above and add
> some tests for this new behavior. Note that, making grep quote/escape
> all unusual paths by default, also make it fully compliant with the
> core.quotePath configuration, which is currently ignored for absolute
> paths.
