Bug#1051205: git grep -F isn't ‒ '(' fails with "fatal: unmatched parenthesis"

2024-03-22 Thread наб 
Control: tags -1 + upstream

hehe hoho git grep '(' is actually git grep PATTERN_GROUP_START,
because git grep has pattern grouping.

Not a bug per se, but the error message is actively adversarial:
  $ git grep \(
  fatal: unmatched parenthesis
  $ git grep \)
  fatal: incomplete pattern expression: )
neither of these explain what the error actually is.
Somehow the one for ) is worse,
since this is a /complete/ pattern (which is a regular expression).

Bug#1051205: git grep -F isn't ‒ '(' fails with "fatal: unmatched parenthesis"

2023-09-04 Thread наб 
Control: retitle -1 git grep -F and BRE fail for "'('" with "fatal: unmatched 
parenthesis" but work for "-- '('"?

This is correct:
$ git grep '\('  | head -n1
fatal: command line, '\(': Unmatched ( or \(

This ain't:
$ git grep '('  | head -n1
fatal: unmatched parenthesis
$ git grep -- '('  | head -n1
CONTRIBUTING:   or from git(1) logs or logs in other version control 
systems.
$ git grep -F -- '('  | head -n1

Dear Maintainer,

$ git grep -F '('
fatal: unmatched parenthesis
$ git grep -F '\('
Changes.old:sed 's/^\(\.[BRI]\)[BRI]\( \([^ 
]\+\|\"[^\"]\+\"\)\)$/\1\2/g'
Changes.old:git grep -P '^\.(BR|IR) [\w]*\([\d]*\)$'
(but '\('s are highlighted here so idk what this could possibly mean).

sid and bookworm.

Best,
