Description Michael Keppler CLA 2015-01-14 03:03:37 EST 
Egit provides the ability to search for committers, commit messages and similar things. However, searching the log is missing (and I need that more often than the existing search capabilities), e.g.
git log -Sremovedline path/to/some/file

Any plans to add this?

This requires pickaxe [1] support in JGit which isn't yet available.
I am not aware of anyone working on this.

Would love to have this functionality, any way to replace EGit/JGit with the native command line??
