The output from "git diff --no-index" is an exception to the above rule.
It is primarily for people who have unmanaged contents and want to use
features of the git diff engine that are not found in other people's diff
implementations (e.g. wordwise colored diff),...
Is it possible to give --no-index option to "git grep", please?
Surely. And "grep" is much easier to do than "diff". Will send a patch
perhaps during my lunch break.
