I think this is a bug in "plain" git-grep, not in -z specifically. In some git
commands, -z has the effect of unquoting the output paths. For example, the
docs for git-ls-files says: "-z: \0 line termination on output and do not quote
filenames." In git-grep, however, the -z doc entry only says: "Output \0
instead of the character that normally follows a file name."

So -z does not seem to affect quoting in git-grep. But should we change this, to
quote unusual pathnames (relative or not) by default, and let -z fall back to
the old behavior? This would be more consistent with other commands such as
git-ls-files and to the core.quotePath setting.

However, perhaps output paths are never intended to be displayed quoted in
git-grep (with or without -z) in order to be consistent with GNU grep. I don't
know which of these options is correct (if any), so I would love to hear what
others have to say about it.

But if the second is correct, I think we can use the following patch to solve
the reported bug:

(I'm just wondering: should we also add the information at core.quotePath that
git-grep does not comply with this setting, to be consistent with GNU grep {or
for any other reason}?)

Subject: [RFC PATCH] grep: fix inconsistent output of unusual pathnames

When grepping from the repository root, paths that contain unusual
characters are not output quoted. However, they are quoted when grepping
from a subdir without --full-name. For example:

$ echo content >'an "unusual" name.txt'
$ mkdir subdir
$ echo content >'subdir/another "unusual" name.txt'
$ git add .
$ git commit -m content

Then:
$ git grep content
an "unusual" name.txt:1:content
subdir/another "unusual" name.txt:1:content

But:
$ cd subdir
$ git grep content
"another \"unusual\" name.txt":1:content

Fix this inconsistency by not quoting unusual pathnames (relative or
not), which is also the default behavior in GNU grep. Also add some
tests to prevent regressions.

Note: some non-related tests that compare git-grep output against
git-ls-files also had to be modified. This is because the testing repo
now contains some unusual pathnames. And git-ls-files will quote such
paths by default, whereas git-grep won't.
