This obviously makes sense if we don't want to get the route of
re-encoding for grep. Re-encoding would be a user-visible change, but I
wonder if it is the right thing to be doing.

Hmm. It would be nice to avoid the extra copy when we do not otherwise
need to use the strbuf. I would have expected something more like:

  const char *msg = commit->buffer;
  if (!msg)
          msg = read_commit_object_data(commit, NULL);

  [...]

  if (buf.len)
          retval = grep_buffer(&opt->grep_filter, buf.buf, buf.len);
  else
          retval = grep_buffer(&opt->grep_filter, msg, strlen(msg));

  strbuf_release(&buf);
  if (msg != commit->buffer)
          free(msg);
  return retval;

You would also need to adjust the other uses of commit->buffer
throughout the function to refer to msg.
