View repo log from outside workspace

Feature request: View repo log without init workspace

It's possible to get and put into a repo from outside a workspace. It would also be useful to view the log of a repo from outside a workspace.

I know I can init a new workspace, but if I want to get some files for a new project, it might not be desirable to do this.

Maybe this would be possible?
avc log ~/path/to/repo

Then I could choose the tag I want, and get it:
avc get -o . ~/path/to/repo@my-tag
