Improve file mode for git repositories with a large history #86

Closed sunnyps closed 7 years ago

sunnyps commented 9 years ago

I tried file mode on the chromium source code and I can't find any recent commits for any range of lines I select. I suspect this is because the git history is so large that the default limit of 44 commits doesn't count for much. It would be great if gitv could do a reverse search kinda like what git blame does. I'm not sure if you're already doing this so feel free to close this bug if you are.

Does being able to use --grep and -G to search solve your problem? How else might one improve reverse searching?
