Last I checked, there was no way to make 'git grep' search in untracked 
files.

That would be a violation of the contract.

And of course we'd have to spend the effort to teach it about 
user-customized error patterns.

If 'git ls-files' + 'xargs rg' gives similar performance, that's 
probably good enough. Though serializing the list of files back and 
forth adds its overhead, which is unfortunate.
