rHG7fbb5d76c555: grep: add --diff flag
Summary

adds a diff flag, which works exactly same as all, infact since
-all searches diffs, there diff is a better name for it.
The all flag is still here for backward compatibility reasons.
Some major tests for all has been picked and added for diff.

We definitely need better help text here to mention that it looks at the diff not all the content.

To deprecate a flag, we need to add (DEPRECATED) after the help text of the flag. Look for DEPRECATED, EXPERIMENTAL, ADVANCED in commands.py, you will find examples.

Also, I suggest you to make a separate patch for deprecating the flag.

nit: it will be better if we can initialize a variable and store opts.get('all') and opts.get('diff') in it and reuse that.

Queued, thanks.

Can you send a follow-up to deprecate the --all option?
It doesn't make sense to provide both --all and --diff in user help.

[('0', 'print0', None, _('end fields with NUL')),
('', 'all', None, _('print all revisions that match')),

+ ('', 'diff', None, _('print all revisions when the term was introduced or removed')),

Next time, please make sure test-check-* pass.
