Hello,
I'm using an older version of git, so this particular issue might have
already been fixed.
$ git --version
git version 2.17.1
If I specify the branch to explore, git grep prints a colon instead of
a slash in the path:
$ git grep arm,coresight-tmc master:Documentation/devicetree
master:Documentation/devicetree:bindings/arm/coresight.txt: "arm,coresight-tmc", "arm,primecell";
master:Documentation/devicetree:bindings/arm/coresight.txt: compatible = "arm,coresight-tmc", "arm,primecell";
^
HERE
There is no such issue when the branch is not specified:
$ git grep arm,coresight-tmc Documentation/devicetree
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/coresight.txt: "arm,coresight-tmc", "arm,primecell";
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/coresight.txt: compatible = "arm,coresight-tmc", "arm,primecell";
^
NO ISSUE
Is this expected behavior?
The spurious colon prevents one from simply copy/pasting the output.
Regards.

There's lots of discussion in this thread from last year:
https://public-inbox.org/git/20170119150347.3484-1-stefanha@redhat.com/
Notably:
git grep arm,coresight-tmc master -- Documentation/devicetree
will do what you want.
