 -f <file>::
 	Read patterns from <file>, one per line.
 
+-e::
+	The next parameter is the pattern. This option has to be
+	used for patterns starting with - and should be used in
+	scripts passing user input to grep.  Multiple patterns are
+	combined by 'or'.
+
+--and | --or | --not | ( | )::
+	Specify how multiple patterns are combined using boolean
+	expressions.  `--or` is the default operator.  `--and` has
+	higher precedence than `--or`.  `-e` has to be used for all
+	patterns.
+
 `<tree>...`::
 	Search blobs in the trees for specified patterns.
 
-`--`::
+\--::
 	Signals the end of options; the rest of the parameters
 	are <path> limiters.
 
 
+Example
+-------
+
+git grep -e \'#define\' --and \( -e MAX_PATH -e PATH_MAX \)::
+	Looks for a line that has `#define` and either `MAX_PATH` or
+	`PATH_MAX`.
