git spelunking

I wanted to find something in some commit, and while trying to remember the right way to wrap around git rev-list --all, I found that git grew an option to just do that: git log -G<regexp> --branches --all¹.

And when was it added? Let's find out:

❯ git log -G"-G" --pretty=format:"%h%x09%x09%ad%x09%s" --reverse -- Documentation/diff-options.txt
