Hi folks,
In Cogito, it would be nice to have a
cg-seek +

that would seek to the next archive state. This way, I could start off seeking back to the beginning of an archive, and quickly step forward, looking at files as I went, to the present.

A corresponding cg-seek - would go the reverse direction, back toward the beginning of a project.

I'm not sure how useful this would be for actual source code - I suspect any benefit would be minimal - but the benefit for documentation and text files, where the only way to test improvements is to read them by eye, would be significant.

Be well, Zack
