magit/magit — Issue #372: Narrow scope of log to a subdirectory

The following feature is missing in magit. Passing a path to git log

git log path/to/subdir

or gitk

gitk path/to/subdir

will narrow down the presented history to files within this subdirectory. I found this to be very useful when browsing the history of a project, knowing the changes of interest in are in a particular subdirectory.
