From what I can see, both 'grep -c' and 'grep >file && test_line_count'
are used in the tests.

'grep -c' is used in these tests:
- t3404-rebase-interactive.sh
- t3507-cherry-pick-conflict.sh
- t4036-format-patch-signer-mime.sh
- t4150-am.sh
- t7810-grep.sh
- t8003-blame-corner-cases.sh
- t9350-fast-export.sh

'grep >file && test_line_count' is used in this test:
- t9400-git-cvsserver-server.sh

And to make matters more confusing, both 'grep -c' and 'grep >file &&
test_line_count' is used in this test:
- t9001-send-email.sh

Granted I didn't miss anything while trawling the tests for the above
numbers, it feels like the 'grep -c' option is more in line with the
existing tests. That said, I don't know if there is an ongoing trend to
deprecate 'grep -c' in favour of 'test_line_count'.
