Re: [PATCH v2 2/2] grep: use '/' delimiter for paths

If the tree contains a sub-directory then git-grep(1) output contains a
colon character instead of a path separator:

  $ git grep malloc v2.9.3:t
  v2.9.3:t:test-lib.sh:	setup_malloc_check () {
  $ git show v2.9.3:t:test-lib.sh
  fatal: Path 't:test-lib.sh' does not exist in 'v2.9.3'

This patch attempts to use the correct delimiter:

  $ git grep malloc v2.9.3:t
  v2.9.3:t/test-lib.sh:	setup_malloc_check () {
  $ git show v2.9.3:t/test-lib.sh
  (success)

Why check the equality with commit, rather than un-equality with
tree?  Wouldn't you want to treat $commit:path and $tag:path the
same way?

I assume Stefan just grabbed my naive suggestion hence why it checks
equality with a commit.  So that's my fault :)  Either of these may
not be enough though, since if you do 'git grep malloc v2.9.3^{tree}'
with this change the output prefix is 'v2.9.3^{tree}/' instead of the
correct prefix 'v2.9.3^{tree}:'

I also think the two patches should be squashed together, as it is
only after this patch that the code does the "right thing" by
changing the delimiter depending on obj->type.

Perhaps you want an annotated tag object refs/tags/v1.0 that points
at the commit at the HEAD, and then run the same grep on v1.0:t, in
addition to the above test.
