+Search for the specified patterns in all project files.
+
+Options
+-------
+
+The following options can appear as often as necessary to express
+the pattern to locate:
+
+ -e PATTERN
+ --and, --or, --not, -(, -)
+
+Further, the -r/--revision option may be specified multiple times
+in order to scan multiple trees.  If the same file matches in more
+than one tree, only the first result is reported, prefixed by the
+revision name it was found under.
+
+Examples
+-------
+
+Look for a line that has '#define' and either 'MAX_PATH or 'PATH_MAX':
+
+  repo grep -e '#define' --and -\( -e MAX_PATH -e PATH_MAX \)
+
+Look for a line that has 'NODE' or 'Unexpected' in files that
+contain a line that matches both expressions:
+
+  repo grep --all-match -e NODE -e Unexpected
