Can you make a draft on how you want "git find" to be? Except the
"-exec" part, Git allows us to search using various commands
(ls-files, rev-list, log). I don't think a single "git find" can cover
them all. I was thinking about putting more find-options to search
commands we already have. ls-files would support -exec, for example.

A few things that I'd love to have supported:
 - --depth for ls-files (probably all pathspec-as-argument commands)
 - logical combination of search criteria
 - unified blob locator. git-show understands SHA-1:/path/to/blob
syntax. What if git-log can output using similar syntax, then feed
them to git-grep in order to grep through (across commits)?
