git grep --no-index and absolute paths don't work?

[Bert Wesarg <bert.wesarg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm currently  totally confused, that a

    git grep --no-index foo /usr/include

does not work. I know that the documentation says "in the current
directory" for the --no-index flag. But this does not work ether:

    cd ~; git grep --no-index foo ~/.bashrc

They all fail with 'is outside repository'. Which is for itself vary
misleading, because I intentionally said --no-index.

Any input is appreciate.

Thanks.

Bert
