Although this is not what you ask for, you might try ‘grep’ using the
following value of ‘grep-command’:

git --no-pager grep -nH -Ee ''

(you put the regexp between those quotes).


Alternatively, you might try diving into sources of ‘find-grep-dired’
and getting dired to run on the result of “git --no-pager grep -l -Ee
'your_regex' | xargs ls”, but this assumes you are on a unix-like
system.
