Thanks. However, your suggestion doesn't work. It prints only commit 2. Maybe
you meant:

$ PAGER=cat git log --pickaxe-regex -S'Free data$' --oneline

but that doesn't solve my problem. I want to find all commits which changed
lines containing "Free data" (the example I posted is simplified).

Seems I have to use "git log -p" and search its output using pager...
