Run "git grep" in "grep" search with '-z' option, to be able to parse response also for files with filename containing ':' character. The ':' character is otherwise (without '-z') used to separate filename from line number and from matched line. Note that this does not protect files with filename containing embedded newline. This would be hard but doable for text files, and harder or even currently impossible with binary files: git does not quote filename in "Binary file <foo> matches" message, but new `--break` and/or `--header` options to git-grep could help here.

Hopefully nobody sane uses filenames with embedded newlines... http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/fixing-unix-linux-filenames.html gitweb/gitweb.perl | 5 +++-- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/gitweb/gitweb.perl b/gitweb/gitweb.perl index fa58156..f884dfe 100755 --- a/gitweb/gitweb.perl +++ b/gitweb/gitweb.perl @@ -5836,7 +5836,7 @@ sub git_search_files { my %co = @_; local $/ = "\n"; - open my $fd, "-|", git_cmd(), 'grep', '-n', + open my $fd, "-|", git_cmd(), 'grep', '-n', '-z', $search_use_regexp ?
