Is there some interest for such a feature (which I think would be very
easy to add for someone good in SQL, might be similar query as what
finfo use).

I would think of a "History" link on the File view when inside a
directory, it would show a timeline similar to the file history, but
showing any commit that is related to any file inside the directory
where we are. For command line, it can be either timeline or finfo
that can take a directory as argument.

This would be very usefull (almost necessary) for us, since we have 1
repo per big projects which include many C/C++ programs source code
that share few common header files with a few different programmers.
But most programmer mostly work on one part of the tree, so when they
look at the timeline, they see a lot of commits from all programs,
which make it harder to follow. having history on subdir's, it could
be possible to limitate commits to this sub directory, which might
correspond to one particular library or program inside the repo.
