I've set the prefix argument using the current-prefix-arg variable as
you mentioned:

(let ((current-prefix-arg '(4)))
  (vc-git-grep "something" "*.el" "."))

And then I also tried:

(let ((current-prefix-arg '(4)))
  (projectile-grep))

In both cases, I am prompted for the full git-grep command (and nothing else).
Is there any way to set a default set of arguments in order to avoid typing them
when invoking the function?
