I frequently use `magit-log` followed by `-G` in the transient to search changes but wasn't sure how to do this in VC. So my question is how do you do that? Before posting this I re-read the manual and I'm guessing most use this method: C-u C-x v l Then change the command to include -p like: git log -p --no-color -i --grep= It seems like it would be even more convenient to display all diffs in the root log accessed with `C-x v L` and use `C-s` for this purpose. Is that possible? Or is there a better way to do what I'm asking for? Thanks!
