The "-F" flag apparently got mis-translated due to some over-eager
copy-paste work into a duplicate "-H" when using the external grep.

Me likee the new built-in grep. The ability to say
git grep __make_request v2.6.13 -- '*.c'
to grep for it in a specific version is well worth the fact that it
obviously ends up being slower than grepping in the currently checked-out
tree. It's doing a hell of a lot more, but despite that it's not at all
that slow.
(In fact, I would say that doing the above command in just 4 seconds is
damn impressive - it's a large code-base, and v2.6.13 is several months,
and over 20 _thousand_ revisions ago).
And now it doesn't have any performance downsides, so it's all upside.
Good job. Pls merge into mainline, I think the "grep per revision" is a
killer feature.
