A small typo: the middle -a should be a -o.
No typo. The boolean is all "and".
Strangely I've also read that the Conditional Expression [[ ... ]] is being depreciated. Depends on which set of proposed standards you read this week.
Personally I use the Conditional Expression syntax in a cron line and the "test" syntax in Shell scripts.
In the real world for this particular post I'd probably have used nested "if" statements preceded by useful comment lines.

grepdiff
GREPDIFF(1) Man pages GREPDIFF(1)
NAME
grepdiff - show files modified by a diff containing a regex
SYNOPSIS
grepdiff [[-n] | [--line-number]] [--number-files] [[-p n] | [--strip-match=n]] [--strip=n] [--addprefix=PREFIX] [[-s] | [--status]]
[[-i PATTERN] | [--include=PATTERN]] [[-x PATTERN] | [--exclude=PATTERN]] [[-v] | [--verbose]] [[-E] | [--extended-regexp]] [[-H]
| [--with-filename]] [[-h] | [--no-filename]] [--output-matching=WHAT] {[REGEX] | [-f FILE]} [file...]
grepdiff {[--help] | [--version] | [--list] | [--filter ...]}
DESCRIPTION
For each file modified by a patch, if the patch hunk contains the REGEX then the file's name is printed.
The regular expression is treated as POSIX Basic Regular Expression syntax, unless the -E option is given in which case POSIX Extended
Regular Expression syntax is used.
For example, to see the patches in my.patch which contain the regular expression "pf_gfp_mask", use:
grepdiff pf_gfp_mask my.patch |
xargs -rn1 filterdiff my.patch -i
You can use both unified and context format diffs with this program.
OPTIONS
-n, --line-number
Display the line number that each patch begins at. If verbose output is requested, each matching hunk is listed as well.
For a description of the output format see lsdiff(1).
--number-files
File numbers are listed, beginning at 1, before each filename.
-p n, --strip-match=n
When matching, ignore the first n components of the pathname.
--strip=n
Remove the first n components of the pathname before displaying it.
--addprefix=PREFIX
Prefix the pathname with PREFIX before displaying it.
-s
Show file additions, modifications and removals. A file addition is indicated by a "+", a removal by a "-", and a modification by a
"!".
-i PATTERN, --include=PATTERN
Include only files matching PATTERN.
-x PATTERN --exclude=PATTERN
Exclude files matching PATTERN.
-E, --extended-regexp
Use POSIX Extended Regular Expression syntax.
-H, --with-filename
Print the name of the patch file containing each match.
-h, --no-filename
Suppress the name of the patch file containing each match.
-f FILE, --file=FILE
Read regular expressions from FILE, one per line.
--output-matching=hunk|file
Display the matching hunk-level or file-level diffs.
--help
Display a short usage message.
--version
Display the version number of grepdiff.
--filter
Behave like filterdiff(1) instead.
--list
Behave like lsdiff(1) instead.
