grep: don't search past the end of the searched string

'*' causes the resulting RE to match 0 or more repetitions of the preceding RE:

>>> bool(re.search('.*', ''))
>>> True

This causes an infinite loop because currently we're only checking if there was
a match without looking at where we are in the searched string.

  $ hg init
  $ echo a > a
  $ hg add a
  $ hg commit -m test

Do we ever miss a sub-second change?:

  $ for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20; do
  >     hg co -qC 0
  >     echo b > a
  >     hg st
  > done
