Ah, well so although --use-gitgrep has its own heuristics for determining if gitgrep can correctly be used or not we still need something to figure out if it toggle --use-gitgrep or not as I do not think Coccinelle automatically tries to make use of --use-gitgrep unless otherwise specified, please correct me if I'm wrong. That is, if no indexing arguments are passed does Coccinelle figure out on its own whether or not to use --use-glimpse, --use-gitgrep and as a last resort --use-coccigrep ? This is what pycocci is doing here. Other than this another reason for the git class in this series is for Coccinelle SmPL patch equivalence proof support, that uses git to create branches for the patch version of changes, then the smpl version of changes, and finally 'git diff --stat between these two'.
