Feel free to reword. Looking at this I can't help but feel that the text for --grep/--author/--committer is misleading, since they say they will limit to commits blabla, but they don't if another is given. Ie they only do what they say if you give the --all-match option.

Feel free to reword. This is a bad strategy to get your patch accepted except on a rare occasion when I'm not too lazy nor busy to "feel free". Besides, the patch is whitespace damaged. I fixed it up and queued it nevertheless. Thanks. ```
