git-sh-setup: remove "sane_grep", it's not needed anymore

avar · gitster · commit ebeb39faad6e · 2021-10-21T16:17:57.000-07:00
Remove the sane_grep() shell function in git-sh-setup. The two reasons for why it existed don't apply anymore: 1. It was added due to GNU grep supporting GREP_OPTIONS. See e1622bf (Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanity, 2009-11-23). Newer versions of GNU grep ignore that, but even on older versions its existence won't matter, none of these sane_grep() uses care about grep's output, they're merely using it to check if a string exists in a file or stream. We also don't care about the "LC_ALL=C" that "sane_grep" was using, these greps for fixed or ASCII strings will behave the same under any locale. 2. The SANE_TEXT_GREP added in 71b4010 (sane_grep: pass "-a" if grep accepts it, 2016-03-08) isn't needed either, none of these grep uses deal with binary data.
