Searching via git grep?

[ebiederm@xmission.com (Eric W. Biederman)]

Have you considered searching public inboxes via git grep?

For a big server lore.kernel.org with a lot of searches and a lot of
clients it might not make sense.  But for home use where searches are
rare and the indexes can not be kept in ram, but the mailbox might fit
git grep sounds attractive?

I performed a preliminary test and just running git grep manually and
I was search all of the git mailling list archive pretty much
immediately.

For v1 it is just 'git grep <regexp> HEAD'
For v2 it is 'git --rev-list --all | xargs git grep <regexp>'

If this sounds reasonable to you I will take a look at what it takes to
wire that up over the next while.
