Hi,

I ran into this the other day when I was looking at jgit's log history.
I retested today with the latest master branch, and it does the same thing.

So... what am I doing wrong?

	git clone git://repo.or.cz/egit/spearce.git bsd
	git log |grep "^Author:" | sort | uniq

	# note the user: Thad Hughes <thadh@thad.corp.google.com>

	# nothing appears for these commands
	git log --grep="thadh@thad.corp.google.com"
	git log --grep="google.com"
	git log --grep="thadh"

	# this works
	git log --author="thadh@thad.corp.google.com"

	# this works
	git log | grep thadh@thad.corp.google.com

According to the man page of git-log, --grep only greps the log message, 
not the author.  Does that help?

--grep only works on the log message, not on the author or committer
fields. As Thad's commit does not have a SoB line, --grep won't find it.

Doh.  That would certainly explain it.  Thanks!
