Using "git log" to find the files patched at the same time as a named file

Hi folks,

If I have a filename I'm interested in, and I want to find other files
that have been modified in the same commits that modified the file I'm
interested in, how could I do that with git?

If I give the command
$ git log --name-only
then the bottom of each log entry will list all the files that were
modified by that commit. That's basically what I want, except that the
command will list all log entries, not just the ones that modified the
file I'm interested in.

If I give the command
$ git log --name-only fs/fuse/file.c
then the bottom of each log entry only lists fs/fuse/file.c, even if
the very same commit showed up in the output from the previous command
with multiple files in addition to that one. In other words, the "git
log --name-only fs/fuse/file.c" command will only list fs/fuse/file.c
as being changed, in commits that I know changed more than just that
one file.

Is there a git command that will run in roughly the same amount of
time as the ones given above (i.e. with only a single invocation of
git), but that will only output the commits that affected the file I'm
interested in, and that will also list any other files changed in
those same commits?

Many thanks,
Zack
