According to Ralf Wildenhues on 3/2/2008 2:17 PM:

'git grep $whatever' provides a nice shorthand for the above operation,
particularly with an in-place or in-tree VPATH build.  But yes, I can
agree with the value of your out-of-tree VPATH builds for a clean
separation of source from built objects.
