I do agree with the reasoning that it is sufficient to check with
only one kind, but it is unclear if PCRE is so special and if so
why.  Wouldn't testing with, say grep.patternType=extended, alone
also be sufficient?  The reason I am asking it is mostly because the
above description is insufficient to answer these questions, but
also because we can lose the prerequisite and gain a bit wider test
coverage, if we use a pattern that is not PCRE.

Knowing that "show", "whatchanged", "reflog", and "format-patch" all
share the same backend in builtin/log.c, I am not sure how much
value the new tests add.  Testing the "--grep-reflog" option and the
"git rev-list" command may exercise a bit different code path,
though.

I prefer to send the output that ought to contain the grep hits
consistently to "actual", i.e.

	case "$cmd" in
	format-patch) myarg="--stdout -1" ;;
	*) myarg= ;;
	esac	

instead of sending only the filenames.

I also prefer "case/esac" as it would be more concise when we need
to tweak myarg per command later.

Thanks.
