That steals namespace from "the path 'nth(3)/foo' in the index". But is "the third instance of foo in all branches" something that needs to be possible to say? Branches do not have a well defined order, anyway. A command to list all commits with "foo" in the subject like

	git log --oneline --grep-subject=foo

sounds more useful (assuming --grep=foo yields too many false positives).
