Searching for Commits

[wmwolf]

Since commits don't have a simple time-ordering associated with their labeling, getting at a particular commit can be challenging. It might be nice to be able to search for commits by author, date, passing status, or commit messages. Right now you can hard code a url with a valid commit identifier, so if you do know a particular commit, you can get to it.

This would be similar to the search feature on test instances, and perhaps could be ported over to mesa_test as well (you could search commits from the command line).

It would be an excellent addition to be able to get a filtered list of commits showing only the ones that have passed the full set with all options. Those are the special “safe-stepping-stones” for development, and it would be great to make them easily accessible for review and as a reminder if too long has gone by since the last “good” run.
