Maybe region-history-mode is not the best name, but at least
it provides fontification for revisions composed of both
the commit metadata and the diff of changes.

Similar to wave-particle duality, in revision's duality the revision
may be described as either a log metadata or a diff depending on the
observer's point of view. A new separate command resolves such dilemma.

A new command was intended to produce the output similar to e.g.
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=6f30642973975a317a9c94ceba737a4bafc89919
i.e. first comes the metadata, then the commit message, and finally the diff.
Do other VCSes or their interfaces produce a similar layout?
