You will have to excuse me, this is my first patch and I don't know if
this is the right place to post this. Apologies in advance if I'm in
the wrong place.

git-grep currently throws an error when you combine the -F and -i
flags. This isn't in line with how GNU grep handles it. This patch
allows the simultaneous use of those flags.

Junio, may I ask what happened to this patch?

We got sidetracked into a larger picture issues of how to allow platform
ports to selectively call out to external grep depending on the feature
set supported by the external grep implementations.

Later I looked at the original patch, the patch text looked fine (except
that I would have called the field "ignorecase", not "caseless"), but it
wasn't signed off and did not have usable log message.

And then I forgot ;-)

Thanks for a reminder, and thanks Jeff for a resend.
