This will not be sufficient. As a Git user, I frequently want to
browse the whole repository as of a specific revision. Use case: “Two
months ago, function foo was changed to call function bar. How did bar
look at that point?”

Also, in a dired buffer showing src/emacs/lisp@@/ef7a18a071, will
dired-jump jump to src/emacs@@/ef7a18a071?
