Nah, you just prune the commits from which aren't interesting, then dump
the graph you're left with. So instead of printing just the immediate
parent(s) for each interesting commit, you print the "nearest
interesting ancestor(s)".

Take copy of rev-tree, let it mark commits as interesting if they touch
the file(s) in question, then effectively perform a list_del() on any
commit which _isn't_ interesting, and any merge which merges only
uninteresting commits... then dump the resulting pruned graph.
