What about partial text/partial binary files?

I recall using text searching tools (not necessarily git machinery,
my memory is fuzzy) to check for strings in pdf files, which are
usually marked binary in context of git, such that we do not
see their diffs in `log -p`.

But I would expect a search with -G or -S to still work...
until I find the exception in the docs, only to wonder if
there is a switch to turn off this optimisation for this
corner case.
