By the way, the reason I'm even interested in this in the first place is that the performance of commands like "git blame" and "git log" on files and subtrees has become a problem for us (> 10 seconds per invocation, forecast to get much worse), and I wanted to see whether I could feed "git log" a specific list of revisions, and if so, whether that could yield good performance. I have it in mind to build a secondary index (maintained externally) so that I can supply these git commands with precise lists of revisions for much faster response times.
