It is on one hand a good idea, for users who doesn't read gitweb sources. It is like "advanced search" in web search engines. On the other hand it confirms the notion that search types are exclusive. Currently pickaxe search is exclusive with log message search, but it is not necessary. Search operators (now limited) and combining them gives great search power... or rather would give. -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git
