How many times have you tried to search a string as a comment of a commit
in all the history? Myself: many many times. I know we need much better
tools for that, store the history in a another way, provide a nicer API,
etc etc. And I know there were topics about that.

However, I would deeply appreciate a very short term solution for ease
that. The model side is as simple as this:

| packageName ancestry anscestors substring |
packageName := 'MyPackageXX'.
substring := 'whatever I want to search'.
ancestry := (MCWorkingCopy allManagers detect: [:each | each packageName =
packageName] ) ancestry.
anscestors := ancestry withBreadthFirstAncestors select: [:each | each
isKindOf: MCVersionInfo].
anscestors select: [ :each | each message includesSubstring: substring ]

Do you think it's worth a simple UI tool? Custom inspector of MCAncestry?

Cheers,
