Command expansion: how to convince eshell I am not trying to execute the elisp statement?

Question

git grep fizzbuzz $(git rev-list --all)
fatal: Invalid object name 'Symbol function definition is void'.

Of course the same command M-x shell

works great.

How to convince eshell I am not trying to execute the elisp expression here to get the git grep the kindness I am so clearly looking for?

Works in emacs if I wrap $ () with backtics like:

git grep fizzbuzz `$(git rev-list --all)`
