Sounds like a good feature request...
Yes, I agree. I think this is a valid use case (would also be useful for finding out when a particular file was deleted, for which you now also have some "bisecting" to do). And even if it's slow (as slow as a user searching it by hand), it would still be useful. So, as far as I'm concerned, I think you can file this as a new feature request in the issue tracker (maybe first search for any similar outstanding requests). Cheers, -- Johan
