I've look into this.  We could code things to add a search string:

  [[git:~/my.org::master@{2011-02-07}::Org code]]
                                     ^^

... but I'm reluctant to change the general syntax of links, even 
if that's just for git links.

You mean update

  [[git:~/my.org::master@{2011-02-07}::Org code]]

to 

  [[git:~/my.org::master@{2011-02-11}::Org code]]

?

Can you provide an explicit example?

org-git-link.el is quite readable, and I'd welcome ideas on how to
extend it to fulfill your wishes without extending Org's link syntax 
too much...

Thanks!
