Does it count as simple to use pager's search feature in
"log --raw" output piped to it?
Pardon typos & html; typed on a phone
The `log --raw` looks useful, though I think (IIUC) I also have a problem
that (obviously?) these commits are not linked behind any existing ref
(except maybe the reflogs which I'm not up to speed on).
I had somehow hoped for some neat magic command or rev specifier that took
the revs as alternates to the `-- <paths>` in rev-parse or some such....
It's tricky curating old mistakes ;-)
Thanks for the pointer.
