 3. What is the supposed behaviour of -F (--fixed-strings) when combined

    doesn't seem to match anything. I also tried putting the entire raw
    author field (i.e. including the raw date) but no match. With -F
    before the --author= it behaves like no -F at all.

    "--grep=fixedstring -F" seems to work, though.

  this is actually very high on my TODO list, since it makes
author/committer search in gitweb disfunctional. I plan to post a patch
fixing this in a few days, unless someone beats me to it as usual. ;-)
