[ls-files] is vastly more efficient than find(1) or a --recursive
call to grep(1).

I often filter the list of files before passing them to xargs, so git
grep helps for some use cases, but not all.

Also, (at least as of 1.6.0.2.307.gc427), git grep does not support -P
(Perl compatible regexps) or --color.
