Ooo, that would be cool. You could have:

# bzr grep -r 1204 "foo"

which searchs all files in revision 1204 for "foo". And also:

# bzr grep --search "something" somefile.c

which searches backwards through the history of somefile.c until it gets a 
match (or perhaps through all of history with an option).
