Introduce a leading ':' as the notation for repo-wide pathspecs.
This is in line with our treeish:path notation which defaults to
repowide paths.
Heck: Even ':./path' works for pathspecs, and I have no clue why!

I have not tested this for adverse side effects, only for the intended ones
with "git grep".
It's an alternative to "--full-tree", more far reaching, maybe too far.
But we seem to accept that paths do not start with ':', and that notation
should make msys happy, but what do I know about msys.
(one could stick this into prefix_path() rather than get_pathspec(), but that
would be way too far)
