Do you mean: find the commit which changed file to current version?
I think that

  $ git rev-parse -1 -- file

Would work (but better check "git log -- file").

If you want to find which version corresponds to given contents, you
would have to find sha-1 of /tmp/A (using "git hash-object"), and
find it in difftree searching for sha ("git log --raw -- file", or
just "git log --raw" if you are not sure about name).

I think you can fins such script in mailing list archives...
