FWIW, this came up quite a while ago and people generally seemed to
think it was a good idea, but the patch from Dscho (cc'd) never made it
upstream.

The old thread is here:

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/50010

Personally, I think regex matching makes :/ a bit more usable, though
since that thread I have found I don't use :/ all that often (instead
needing to pick through the results of --grep looking for the commit in
question, at which point I just cut-and-paste the commit sha1). I agree
as was suggested elsewhere in the thread that searching from HEAD would
help.
