That's why i guess what i am proposing might seem simple
I'm saying that we already have the simple version, spelled git clone; git checkout main~5000 then git log -U0 main~5000..main | grep -v '^[-+ ]' which provides very nice hints for the diligent student, including description, file, and even line numbers.[1] Variations on that theme will provide less detailed hints or you can cheat just a little by replacing the "| grep" with "; sleep 2; clear". The possibilities are endless! The curated version you propose is, in my "I do that for $DAYJOB" opinion, very hard to do better than that.
