I think this is a useful addition, but I would find it more useful if I could run a command (make test) on top of all commits of a patch series, like:

$ git run HEAD^4.. command arguments

(I'm not quite sure about the syntax). Something like "git bisect run" but for all the commits in the range.

 I know you said "given points in history", maybe each approach is
useful for each use case.

Thanks, Santi
