The "any commits" above sounds very scary. Are you really going to
check against all the commits?

If I remember correctly :/ will search through commit chains until it
finds a commit that matches. So :/non-existent-string definitely
searches through all commits.

That is the real work the user asked us to do, so it is not a wasted
latency.  The description looked as if you were doing extra work
only for disambiguation, which triggered my "Huh?" meter.
