You're right! With C-u, I am eventually prompted for the full git-grep
arguments, This is useful
when manually invoking the command, but now I'm wondering how I would
set my custom arguments
when the vc-git-grep function is called from another function. For
example, the projectile package
defines projectile-grep, which eventually calls rgrep or vc-git-grep
[1] (depending on the user's choice).
