I think it would make it a better companion to --pickaxe but we need
to align its behaviour a little bit so that it plays better with the
"--pickaxe-all" option, and also needs to hide mode and name only
changes just like pickaxe.  

After all, the diffcore-blobfind code was written while looking at
the diffcore-pickaxe's code in another window shown in the pager,
and I tend to agree with your earlier message that this is an
extreme case of -S<contents> where the contents happens to be the
whole file.
