Hello, I'm trying to find out a commit which removed a function inside a file. The project is the Linux kernel, and I'm trying to look for changes which happened between v2.6.27 and v2.6.28. The changes happened in the following file: drivers/pci/intel-iommu.c where a function has been removed: $ git --version git version 1.7.4.rc3 $ cd ~/linux-2.6/drivers/pci/ $ git grep blacklist v2.6.27 -- drivers/pci/intel-iommu.c $ No ouput... hmm, I know it's in... oh maybe the path is incorrect $ git git grep blacklist v2.6.27 -- intel-iommu.c v2.6.27:intel-iommu.c:static int blacklist_iommu(const struct dmi_system_id *id) v2.6.27:intel-iommu.c: .callback = blacklist_iommu, ah, so Git failed previously without any comments on the wrong path... maybe it should ? So at that point I know that in the revision v2.6.27, there's a function called "blacklist_iommu" in drivers/pci/intel-iommu.c Now take a look if it's still there in v2.6.28: $ git git grep blacklist v2.6.28 -- intel-iommu.c $ This time nothing is printed but I know that the command is correct. So now I'm interested in looking for the commit which removed this function. Fo this I'm trying to use git-log(1): $ git log --full-history --follow -S'static int blacklist_iommu(const struct dmi_system_id *id)' v2.6.27..v2.6.28 -- intel-iommu.c $ echo $? 0 I tried different options but it fails. Also I found that passing the exact string to '-S' is annoying, are there any way to just pass a part of the string such as "-Sblacklist_iommu" ? Sorry if I miss the revelant git-log's option, but there're so many... -- Francis -- 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
