+Or, when running 'git jump grep', column numbers will also be emitted,

Obviously this trivial case isn't that interesting; you could just open
`foo.c` yourself. But when you have many changes scattered across a
project, you can use the editor's support to "jump" from point to point.

+This script was written and tested with vim. Given that the quickfix
format is the same as what gcc produces, I expect emacs users have a
similar feature for iterating through the list, but I know nothing about
how to activate it.
The shell snippets to generate the quickfix lines will almost certainly
choke on filenames with exotic characters (like newlines).
