101
+ Recent versions of GNU grep is pickier than before to decide if a
102
+ file is "binary" and refuse to give line-oriented hits when we
103
+ expect it to, unless explicitly told with "-a" option. As our
104
+ scripted Porcelains use sane_grep wrapper for line-oriented data,
105
+ even when the line may contain non-ASCII payload we took from
106
+ end-user data, use "grep -a" to implement sane_grep wrapper when
107
+ using an implementation of "grep" that takes the "-a" option.
