Subject: grep: recurse in-process using 'struct repository'
X-Git-Tag: v2.15.0-rc0~179^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.lorimer.id.au/gitweb.git/diff_plain/f9ee2fcdfa

grep: recurse in-process using 'struct repository'

Convert grep to use 'struct repository' which enables recursing into
submodules to be handled in-process.
