Hello,

Git log -S or -G make it possible to find commits that have particular words in the changed lines. Sometimes it would be helpful to search for words in the removed lines or in the added lines specifically. From the implementation, I had the impression that this would be easy to implement. The main question would be how to allow the user to specify what is wanted.

thanks, julia
