The grep_config() function takes one instance of grep_opt as its
callback parameter, and populates it by running git_config().
This has three practical implications:
- You have to have an instance of grep_opt already when you call
the configuration, but that is not necessarily always true. You
may be trying to initialize the grep_filter member of rev_info,
but are not ready to call init_revisions() on it yet.
- It is not easy to enhance grep_config() in such a way to make it
cascade to other callback functions to grab other variables in
one call of git_config(); grep_config() can be cascaded into from
other callbacks, but it has to be at the leaf level of a cascade.
- If you ever need to use more than one instance of grep_opt, you
will have to open and read the configuration file(s) every time
you initialize them.
Rearrange the configuration mechanism and model it after how diff
configuration variables are handled. An early call to git_config()
reads and remembers the values taken from the configuration in the
default "template", and a separate call to grep_init() uses this
template to instantiate a grep_opt.
The next step will be to move some of this out of this file so that
the other user of the grep machinery (i.e. "log") can use it.

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival
sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
