Take advantage of 'git-grep(1)''s new option, '--column' in order to
teach Peff's 'git-jump' script how to jump to the correct column for any
given match.
'git-grep(1)''s output is in the correct format for Vim's jump list, so
no additional cleanup is necessary.

Obviously this trivial case isn't that interesting; you could just open
`foo.c` yourself. But when you have many changes scattered across a
project, you can use the editor's support to "jump" from point to point.
