Yep. I wonder if we also would want to test that we correctly find regexes inside binary files. E.g., given a mixed binary/text file like: printf 'binary\0text' >file && git add file && git commit -m file then "git log -Stext" will find that file, but "--pickaxe-regex" will not (using stock git). Ditto for "-Gtext". Your patch should fix that. -Peff
