FWIW, I believe Bruce uses some version of it as well. It's our main
tool for dredging up the raw data for release notes.

It's a bit premature to speculate about alternate history tools when
we haven't figured out what the repository is going to look like. Right
at the moment I'm much more concerned about the question of supporting
a checkout-per-branch workflow. That's something I use pretty nearly
every day, whereas looking at the history is maybe a once-a-week kind
of need at most.
