Great minds think alike.  I stopped using 'grep-find' in Emacs
and use "git-ls-fiels -z | xargs -0 grep" instead these days.
Thanks for the patch; applied.

I do not much care about other grep flags but I think you forgot
to special case '-e', so what is in the "master" branch has one
extra commit on top of it for that (it does not seem to have
percolated down yet).
