Hmm, I completely misread your patch comments in the first place, so
forget my suggestion; it obviously needs to be a per-committish
indicator, not a per-command flag.

I think :/ is slightly easier on the eyes than :::. Plus it opens the
door for :? to find the oldest such match (though I'm not sure if it
would be by topology or date).

Of course it's starting to look a bit like line noise...maybe we just
need :-/ and :-).
