Feature: Builtin git only display commits for current file and view file contents at selected commit

[Pyons]

I want to be able to only see the commits and diff preview of the currently opened file.
Furthermore, on selection i don't want to do a git checkout, but view the open file in a new buffer at the time of the selected commit.

Solution
I created an extension telescope-git-ex.nvim
Which uses git show to retrieve the file at the selected commit and creates a new buffer with the content.
Maybe if you deem this feature useful enough, it could be integrated and further enhanced as this is just a proof of concept.

(Picker only displays commits featuring the open file)

(Opens a new buffer with the file at the selected commit)

Oh cool. I love seeing new extensions.

We already have Telescope git_bcommits which only shows commits with the current file, and i am almost done with #528, just one small thing missing, like 1/2 days. That will allow you to cycle thought different previewers and we will have a git diff to parent, diff to head, git show, git commit message previewer configured.

It will also have a diff view on <c-v>, <c-x> and <c-t> and i think bcommits will now checkout file (git checkout sha -- file) if i recall correctly

Thank you for the quick answer.
#528 looks great, i'm going to have a look at it.

Great project, by the way.
