Yeah, looking at the way grep.c:compile_regexp() is structured, we are already prepared to allow $ git log --grep='(?i)torvalds' --grep='Linus' that wants to find one piece of text case insensitively while another case sensitively in the same text (i.e. the log message part), so per-pattern customization may be a good way to do this. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
