Fortunately git does have a perfect memory:
$ git log -1 --all-match --author=peff --grep=grep

submodule: fix some non-portable grep invocations
Not all greps support "-e", but in this case we can easily
convert it to a single extended regex.
The grep in question is Solaris 8's /usr/bin/grep (which also needs
"egrep" instead of "-E", as you already did).
