How is that different to the file size example I gave earlier?
You could have a change which includes:
- *.pl group=prolog

What happens in the diff/log case then (just as a file can pass an
arbitrary file size within that change) ? These file attributes are as
arbitrary as sizes as well as submodule labels or names.
