This addition makes
git grep -e "(integer|buffer)"
work as expected, when grep.patternType is set to "extended".
Should this
git log --grep="(integer|buffer)"
also honor the same configuration variable? If not, why not?
One more thing. Currently you can say
git log -E --grep="(integer|buffer)"
to ask for the ERE. Should we also support -P to ask for pcre? If
not, why not?
