To avoid any aliases, it may be better to use
\egrep

This could be worthwhile for all utilities used by the script.

Just a thought.

It is custom on this list to mail the patches, rather than attaching
them, so people can review your changes in-line. You can read more
about it in in git/Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

Cheers,
Frans
