I am only a messenger for their argument and, as I said, I did not particularly buy that argument because I myself do not find it too disturbing that a grep in my built tree says "Binary file libgit.a matches", especially I typically run grep in my Emacs buffer and C-x ` (next-error) does not get confused by such useless hits.
