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).
