Hi,

when password store is a git repository, it is possible to view previous version
of a secret (even deleted) using basic git commands :

$ git log --follow --oneline -- test/root.gpg
a5b04e2 Add generated password for test/root.
acb163c Add generated password for test/root.
902f4a0 Remove test/root from store.
54399f7 Add password for test/root using editor.

$ git show acb163c:test/root.gpg | gpg -d

Is there any more idiomatic/efficient way to accomplish that ? It could be a
cool feature =)
