This looks a lot more sensible split compared to the previous round.

I _think_ it makes sense to have this additional "if looking for
something in the body, do not bother if we are not in body", but I
wonder if that is a bugfix that has nothing to do with this topic.

In other words, even if for whatever reason we decide that it is not
worth painting the hits in "git log --grep=<pattern> --author=<who>"
output, would the addition to this single condition to the original
code, with or without the refactoring, fix some existing bug?

If so, perhaps that can be a separate patch with a test that
demonstrates the bug fixed.  With this change mixed in, it is
unclear if this step is pure refactoring that does not break the
existing callers of the code path.

If it is not a bugfix, we need to explain the reason why this
additional condition is necessary in the proposed log message (I am
assuming that this change is needed to get the end result working).

So, match_one_pattern() after all the above changes behaves almost
identically for existing callers, except that it has the "pattern
for body should only apply to the body text" condition added, which
may affect the behaviour.

Since this "next" thing is designed to be repeatedly called, we use
the new helper that is meant for <bol, eol> after we preprocessed
the header and the trailing timestamp away, which makes sense, I
guess.  But the caller needs to do the preprocessing before it makes
the first call to match_next_pattern() on any given line to adjust
bol and eol.

... and this caller apparently does not.  It is made the
responsibility of the callers of grep_next_match() to adjust bol and
eol before calling it.

... which is this caller, show_line(), which is the only caller of
grep_next_match().

But this function is not taught to strip headers and timestamp from
<bol, eol>, either, so it is the responsibility of the callers of
show_line().

I _think_ all the current callers of show_line() handle the blob
contents found by "git grep" and not "git log --grep/--author", and
there is no GREP_PATTERN_HEAD/GREP_PATTERN_BODY given, but I may be
mistaken.  With the current set of callers, do we ever call
next_match() with a pattern with p->token set to GREP_PATTERN_HEAD
or _BODY?  I am wondering why we even have those cases covered in
the switch statement in the previous hunk.

match_one_pattern() of course must be prepared to see the HEAD and
BODY requests because match_expr_eval() is evantually called via
grep_buffer() interface to implement "git log --grep/--author", but
I do not think next_match() would be called in that code path.  The
handling of GREP_PATTERN_HEAD and GREP_PATTERN_BODY in next_match(),
which I am wondering about, came from 7e8f59d5 (grep: color patterns
in output, 2009-03-07).

Anyway, let's read on.

As this is made external, it at least needs a comment on the
(somewhat strange) field parameter, especially the fact that "no,
this is not grepping in the header lines in a commit object" is
signalled by a special GREP_HEADER_FIELD_MAX value.

Other than that, looks much cleaner than the previous round.

Thanks.
