"Assume unchanged" bit means "please pretend that I have never touched this file", so if user removes the file, we should not care. This patch teaches "git grep" to use cache version in such situations. External grep case has not been fixed yet. But given that on the platform that CE_VALID bit may be used like Windows, external grep is not available anyway, I would wait for people to raise their hands before touching it.
