Hello,
it seems that git grep doesn't do word boundaries as described:
$ cat bar
foo bar baz
$ grep "\<bar\>" *
foo bar baz
$ git grep "\<bar\>" *
$ git grep -w "\<bar\>" *
$ git grep -w "bar" *
bar:foo bar baz
$ git grep -E "\<bar\>" *
$ git grep -E "\bbar\b" *
$
thanks,
Thomas

It works here. Did you add the file?
$ grep "\<bar\>" *
foo bar baz
$ git grep "\<bar\>"
bar:foo bar baz
$ git grep "\<bar\>" *
bar:foo bar baz
$ git grep \\bbar\\b
bar:foo bar baz
$ git grep \\bbar\\b *
bar:foo bar baz
