Since the culprit commit is not in the first-parent history of HEAD, my usual approach doesn't help, either: $ git log -m --first-parent -S'mnTitleBarHeight =' \ -- sd/source/ui/dlg/PaneDockingWindow.cxx $ Using -c or --cc produces too many hits. Luckily '-m -p' without --first-parent worked and the first commit it showed was the right one. It produces more hits than I'd like, too, though. The -L option doesn't interact well enough with --reverse to handle this case: $ git grep -p -e'mnTitleBarHeight =' b390fae1 -- sd/source/ui/dlg/PaneDockingWindow.cxx b390fae1:sd/source/ui/dlg/PaneDockingWindow.cxx=void PaneDockingWindow::Layout (void) b390fae1:sd/source/ui/dlg/PaneDockingWindow.cxx: mnTitleBarHeight = GetSettings().GetStyleSettings().GetTitleHeight(); b390fae1:sd/source/ui/dlg/PaneDockingWindow.cxx: mnTitleBarHeight = aToolBoxSize.Height(); b390fae1:sd/source/ui/dlg/PaneDockingWindow.cxx: mnTitleBarHeight = aToolBoxSize.Height(); $ git log --reverse b390fae1..HEAD \ -L:Layout:sd/source/ui/dlg/PaneDockingWindow.cxx fatal: -L parameter 'Layout' starting at line 1: no match Thanks for a useful example.
