I use "git grep" in subdirectories extensively, and I like that it does 
_not_ search the whole repository.

Could you suggest a nice way for me to retain that behavior with an 
option?

After all, since you propose a change in behavior, it is _your_ duty to 
provide ways for those who want the old behavior to get at it easily!

In the alternative, I could suggest "git grep -e <expression> HEAD".

Ciao,
