This is what I used to use when adding these generalized grep
boolean expressions.
With this applied, you can try things like these:
$ git log --grep=regexp --grep=nosuch --all-match >/dev/null
$ git log --grep=regexp --grep=nosuch --author=Michael >/dev/null
For example, "--all-match --grep=regexp --author=Michael --author=Linus" turns
into
[all-match]
(or
pattern_body<body>regexp
(or
(or
pattern_head<head 0>Linus
pattern_head<head 0>Michael
)
true
)
)
that says "body must have 'regexp' in it, and authored by either
Linus or Michael".
The semantics of "--all-match" is different from "--and" (which,
together with "--or", ")", and "(", is not availble to rev-list
command line parser primarily because "--not" is not available).
After applying all the "or"-ed terms, it checks the top-level nodes
that are "or"-ed and makes sure all of them fired (possibly and
usually on different lines).
