The updated map_user() and its users look much nicer now.  Applying
your patches with "git am --whitespace=error" spots a few style
violations, though.

I think we should stop using the header grep mechanism for these and
instead keep two separate grep expressions in struct rev_info and
use them in revision.c::commit_match().  The unification of header
filter and message grep filter done in 2d10c55 (git log: Unify
header_filter and message_filter into one., 2006-09-20) may not have
been a good idea.

Thanks.
