Not wanting to keep the whole object because of their size is
understandable since the users of "struct object" derivatives
rarely if ever seem to free them once they get hold of them.
And not wanting to think ahead about what is worth keeping (like
names for tree entries back then, or commit author names) is
also understandable, but it still is frustrating.

So if this design is changed to suit -u, would a further redesign be needed
to support an option to filter on keywords in the body of the changelog
entry? Perhaps this will result in a net slowdown for the usual case of just
grabbing all log entries.

I admit not looking at this code for a rather long time, but what about
just telling the commit parser what stuff are you interested in and it
would leave the rest of the structure fields NULL? That would mean only
slight memory usage increase and basically no time increase.
