For some options, verify all versions of the repository

[craigez]

For example, it might be useful to verify certain file types are not present in ANY branch/version of the repository. Similar with file contents, etc...

I expect this would be optional behavior as it could be very expensive for some repositories.

Password checking would also be a check that may want to run in this manner

Are you thinking on every commit or just every tag/branch? Password checking would need every commit but I'd imagine you wouldn't want this for most rules.

[craigez]

For the immediate use case I had in mind (binaries) I would ideally want every commit, though at every tag/branch probably finds 99% of the issues.

I'd be tempted for this to be a separate project. System to run on every commit/branch/release/whatever.

[craigez]

I've been looking at this in some other contexts using ref-log to easily search all the changes without duplication. I'll bring back whatever we end up doing there for discussion in this forum.

Better late than never! I opened a PR to hopefully resolve this issue. We have been using this feature for some time now to check for content in a certain file (CNAME), in both the default and the gh-pages branch.
