with git 2.11.0 I see this error:

/usr/local/Cellar/git/2.11.0/libexec/git-core/git-submodule: line 337: git grep --full-name -n : command not found

all ears if anyone has a work-around

git ls-files --recurse-submodules | xargs grep "$@"

seems to work.

git 2.12.0 (out any day now) will support --recurse-submodules flag (h/t SO).
