You shouldn't do things you can easily tell you do not need to,
especially when the effort to avoid doing unnecessary allocation,
copying and deallocation is not excessively larger than the saving.

I personally think that lack of perceived performance impact is not
an excuse to be sloppy. These things tend to add up.

A reader who reads documentation carefully will spot that it is a
sloppy coding that such a nonsense combination of two options are
not caught and diagnosed as an error, when accepting and silently
ignoring the option would not help anybody.

An alternative may be to turn -g on when --grep-reflog is given.
Starting from a version that forbids --grep-reflog without -g will
let us change the command line parser to do so in the future without
backward incompatibility, but you cannot do so if you start from a
version that accepts and silently ignores.

How about squashing this in?  I've future-proofed commit_match() a
bit while at it; it would be cleaner to add new fake headers if the
function is done this way.
