log --grep/--author: honor --all-match honored for multiple --grep patterns
When we have both header expression (which has to be an OR node by
construction) and a pattern expression (which could be anything), we
create a new top-level OR node to bind them together, and the
resulting expression structure looks like this:
OR
/ \
/ \
pattern OR
/ \ / \
..... committer OR
/ \
author TRUE
The three elements on the top-level backbone that are inspected by
the "all-match" logic are "pattern", "committer" and "author". When
there are more than one elements in the "pattern", the top-level
node of the "pattern" part of the subtree is an OR, and that node is
inspected by "all-match".
The result ends up ignoring the "--all-match" given from the command
line. A match on either side of the pattern is considered a match,
hence:
git log --grep=A --grep=B --author=C --all-match
shows the same "authored by C and has either A or B" that is correct
only when run without "--all-match".
Fix this by turning the resulting expression around when "--all-match"
is in effect, like this:
OR
/ \
/ \
/ OR
committer / \
author \
pattern
The set of nodes on the top-level backbone in the resulting
expression becomes "committer", "author", and the nodes that are on
the top-level backbone of the "pattern" subexpression. This makes
the "all-match" logic inspect the same nodes in "pattern" as the
case without the author and/or the committer restriction, and makes
the earlier "log" example to show "authored by C and has A and has
B", which is what the command line expects.
