Following up late to this, but, broadly speaking: we mostly just haven't added these features because users haven't asked for them and we haven't otherwise gotten around to it. That's basically it. They would all be useful and/or welcome (assuming we were happy with the implementation.)

(We also don't want to necessarily just straight-up copy raw implementations, but improve on them where we can. But most of the asks here are pretty straightforward, I admit.)

This already works today with `jj log`.

I completely missed the `<PATHS>` argument despite being the first thing documented under `jj log`. That's definitely the most critical feature out of my list, thank you for pointing that out!

Also, it's great to hear that you're willing to accept contributions for those features. If/when Jujutsu gains critical mass, I imagine that someone will end up contributing these features.

Regarding rename detection, it seems like that is actively being worked on, which is really encouraging! https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/pull/3574
