There may be an easier way to do this, but the way I do it is (sort of) documented in http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html#Finding-comments-With-given-Content (should be "commits" instead of "comments", but oh well!) and can be tweaked to suit yourself: git log --raw --abbrev=40 --pretty=oneline | grep -B 24 `git hash-object a.cpp` There may be other, and possibly more efficient, ways to do this, but it generally works for me. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
