With Jason's help, I think I have a good idea how we can do this. It's
not infallible, but it moves most of the logic to git-range-diff,
which is how I prefer it anyway. I'll try to figure out how to limit
this to a subpath and if I can do it without it potentially causing
more confusion, then I'll try to implement it.

Well, the upside of using git-range-diff for the actual comparison is
that it makes it very easy to locate the commits that you're
interested in.

Let me try to put together something that folks can try out and then
we can work iteratively from there.

Thanks for everyone's input.
