Should these be documented instead in Documentation/config/color.txt
as entries in the table under `color.grep.<slot>`?

There is no need to call strlen() here; instead use strbuf_addstr():

    strbuf_addstr(sb, color);

Likewise, no need for strlen() in the conditional or when adding the
RESET color:

    if (*color)
        strbuf_addstr(sb, GIT_COLOR_RESET);

What is the +1 for? Is that to account for the NUL byte at the end of
the string? If so, there's no need to do so manually since strbuf will
take that into account itself.

`buf` and `eol` seem like an accident waiting to happen...

... because strbuf_grow() may reallocate the underlying buffer, which
means that `buf` and `eol` will end up pointing at freed memory, which
will be accessed by the next call to grep_next_match().

I also wonder if these manual calls to strbuf_grow() and the "hint"
passed to strbuf_init() are actually helping considering that strbuf
should do a pretty good job of managing its underlying buffer growth
without this sort of micromanagement. Have you done performance
testing which indicates that such manual management is beneficial (and
that this isn't a case of premature optimization)?

I'm confused by this. How can `buf` ever equal `line` considering that
the above code does:

    strbuf_add(&tmp_sb, line, linelen);
    ...
    buf = tmp_sb.buf;

so that the strbuf contains a _copy_ of `line`, and `buf` is pointing
into the strbuf.

These new variables only ever seem to be used...

... within this block, so they should be declared here rather than in
the outer block in order to reduce their scope.

Again, I wonder if this micromanagement of strbuf allocation is a case
of premature optimization.

It's subjective, but this may be overly clever and unnecessarily
compact. The slightly more verbose:

    strbuf_addf(sb, "%s: ", what);
    if (pp->fmt == CMIT_FMT_FULLER)
        strbuf_addchars(sb, ' ', 4);

is easier to understand at-a-glance, as is this equivalent:

    strbuf_addf(sb, "%s: ", what);
    if (pp->fmt == CMIT_FMT_FULLER)
        strbuf_addstr(sb, "    ");

I realize that you're mirroring how this is done in a few existing
tests in this script, but these days we like to place all code,
including creation of the `expect` file, inside the test body. Also,
style guidelines state that there shouldn't be any whitespace
following the `>` and `<<` operators. Finally, since no variables need
to be interpolated into the here-doc content, we use `\EOF` instead of
`EOF`, and since we want to indent the here-doc content inside the
test body, we use `-\EOF`. So:

    test_expect_success 'log --author' '
        cat >expect <<-\EOF
        Author: <BOLD;RED>A U<RESET> Thor <author@xxxxxxxxxxx>
        EOF
        ...
