[RFC PATCH 1/3] doc: grep: unify info on configuration variables

From: Matheus Tavares <hidden>
Date: 2020-03-24 06:11:31
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

Explanations about the configuration variables for git-grep are
duplicated in "Documentation/git-grep.txt" and
"Documentation/config/grep.txt". Let's unify the information in the
second file and include it in the first.

 CONFIGURATION
 -------------
 
-grep.lineNumber::
-	If set to true, enable `-n` option by default.
-
-grep.column::
-	If set to true, enable the `--column` option by default.
-
-grep.patternType::
-	Set the default matching behavior. Using a value of 'basic', 'extended',
-	'fixed', or 'perl' will enable the `--basic-regexp`, `--extended-regexp`,
-	`--fixed-strings`, or `--perl-regexp` option accordingly, while the
-	value 'default' will return to the default matching behavior.
-
-grep.extendedRegexp::
-	If set to true, enable `--extended-regexp` option by default. This
-	option is ignored when the `grep.patternType` option is set to a value
-	other than 'default'.
-
-grep.threads::
-	Number of grep worker threads to use. If unset (or set to 0), Git will
-	use as many threads as the number of logical cores available.
-
-grep.fullName::
-	If set to true, enable `--full-name` option by default.

-grep.fallbackToNoIndex::
-	If set to true, fall back to git grep --no-index if git grep
-	is executed outside of a git repository.  Defaults to false.
