Not directly, no.
But you can get it indirectly with a number of variations on
git whatchanged --raw --no-abbrev
and then just searching for that SHA1 ID in the result. That will also
show you where in the history that SHA1 came to be or went away.
The SHA1 itself is _purely_ about the actual contents of the file, so it
has no bearing on where that file actually exists, and two identical files
in different places will have the same SHA1. So no SHA1 -> filename
mapping can exist, but you can figure out where in the tree or history it
existed if you just have the full repository.
Ok, thank you. I was able to use the output of "git whatchanged --raw
--no-abbrev" to achieve what I wanted to do.
