"git grep -F", unlike the case where it reads from a file, did not treat
individual lines in the given pattern argument as separate patterns as it
should.

This is not specific to -F; grep(1) accepts newline-separated pattern
lists with -E etc. as well, as does git grep with the patches above.

Yeah, I noticed that "unlike where reading from a file" should contrast
against "where params come from the command line", not with any particular
way to interpret individual pattern. after sending it out.

Thanks.
