Here's a stupid little git-grep suggestion. I recently transitioned from the use of egrep to git-grep, and i like it very much (it nicely excludes build related files, etc.), but there's one small detail: the lack of the -w flag. It's equivalent to this pattern: git grep '\<tick_length\>' And it's the most common grep flag i (and i suspect many others) use, in addition to the (already supported) -l flag. When grepping for symbols in a large repository (such as the Linux kernel) -w is very common and very useful - there's many similar symbols, variants of each other. I use it when seeing a symbol in an oops, etc. While i realize that git-grep does not want to be a full grep replacement, there's a real usability difference between having to type: git grep '\<schedule\>' git grep -w schedule (especially since backslash is a seldom used key during a normal workflow, so accessing it is often a small mental hickup.)
