I'm the creator of AskGit - and this is something I've been thinking a bit about, unsure of the best way to implement and very open to ideas! Adding language specific analysis (this line is a comment, this is a function name, etc) is really interesting to me and I think could really kick this tool up a notch (there are still some more fundamental needs I'd like to address though, such as diffs and blames, query performance, etc).

I've been considering leveraging the syntax highlighting implementation in editors to make this possible (rather than something as heavy handed as parsing a "universal" AST, though I know there are projects to do this)...
