Rhethoric question: Do you mean history _starting_ at the commit that
contains "slabh" or _ending_ at the commit that contains "slabh" followed
by two arbitrary characters?
If :/ is pattern-ized in some way, then IMO pattern matching syntax would
be more use-friendly than (extended) regular expresssions, particluarly
also because the single-character wildcard would be ? and avoid the
otherwise overloaded dot.
