[PATCH 0/6] grep: add option -p/--show-function, similar to diff's

[René Scharfe <rene.scharfe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch series retrofits git grep with functionality similar to the diff
option -p, which shows the function definitions for diff hunks.  git grep is
enhanced to show them as context lines before matches, if called with -p.  It
can be combined with the existing context options (-A, -B, -C).

The first patch is a cleanup.  The userdiff API is enhanced to allow freeing
of allocated memory, before it is used outside of git diff code, later in the
series:

  [PATCH 1/6] userdiff: add xdiff_clear_find_func()

The next three patches massage the context handling code to make it easier to
extend:

  [PATCH 2/6] grep: move context hunk mark handling into show_line()
  [PATCH 3/6] grep: print context hunk marks between files
  [PATCH 4/6] grep: handle pre context lines on demand

Finally, handling for the option -p is added and then enhanced to support
userdiff configuration settings:

  [PATCH 5/6] grep: add option -p/--show-function
  [PATCH 6/6] grep -p: support user defined regular expressions
