Re: [WARNING] Proposed future changes that are backward incompatible

There's one more change that was suggested that I'd like to propose:
- Make "git grep" search the whole repository by default; include an
  explicit "." path limiter to search only the current directory.

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".
