Yeah, looking at the way grep.c:compile_regexp() is structured, we
are already prepared to allow
$ git log --grep='(?i)torvalds' --grep='Linus'
that wants to find one piece of text case insensitively while
another case sensitively in the same text (i.e. the log message
part), so per-pattern customization may be a good way to do this.
