This was actually a leftover incorrect message.
When we introduce the equivalent of
$ git grep -e foo --and --not \( -e bar -e baz \)
to the log family in some distant future, we may end up having to
disambiguate the "--not" (which means something completely different
for the log family) meant for the grep part by doing
$ git log --grep=foo --grep-and --grep-not \
--grep-\( --grep=bar --grep=baz --grep-\)
or something like that, and the code says --grep-debug because that
would fit better than --debug-grep.
Other than that, the patch looks good ;-)
