git grep and word boundaries

Hello,

it seems that git grep doesn't do word boundaries as described:

$ cat bar
foo bar baz
$ grep "\<bar\>" *
foo bar baz
$ git grep "\<bar\>" *
$ git grep -w "\<bar\>" *
$ git grep -w "bar" *
bar:foo bar baz
$ git grep -E "\<bar\>" *
$ git grep -E "\bbar\b" *
$

thanks,
Thomas

It works here. Did you add the file?

$ grep "\<bar\>" *
foo bar baz
$ git grep "\<bar\>"
bar:foo bar baz
$ git grep "\<bar\>" *
bar:foo bar baz
$ git grep \\bbar\\b
bar:foo bar baz
$ git grep \\bbar\\b *
bar:foo bar baz
