Show history of individual files/directories

[yurivict]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No way to easily see history of changes of changes of one sub-sirectory or one file.

Describe the solution you'd like
Show the list of commits that affected a specific folder or a specific file with differences or versions of files before/after commits.

Additional context
I work with the FreeBSD ports directory repository. Each port is like a sub-project. Sometimes I just need to focus on one such directory and see how it changed overtime.

The overall commit list doesn't help because relevant commits are a very small portion of the whole list.

Hi, I'm new here and with Rust, I really liked your suggestion. I would like to write some code, can I start with this feature?

this is actually on the roadmap to release 1.0 and was tracked in #381 (before eager stale-bot closed it) this is only an implementation detail allowing folder and not just specific file to get the commit log of. so I will close this as a duplicate for now.
