I have currently started to implement this by searching for blobs in the root
tree with matching file names. This can be extended by searching the child
trees to a certain depth to find the file. This is in the patch attached
below.
So yesterday, I was looking to further implement this patch on the internet and
was able to read the documentation of git python to use the git ls-files
command and found this
http://gitpython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference.html#git.cmd.Git
But i'm not sure if this is the way to go about it.
Also, I'm thinking that we should just expose this function via REST and use JS
to display the search results instead on demand.
Would like to know suggestions on how to further go about this.
