Right. But think for a minute about what it means to "move". If I have: foo bar and then change it to: bar foo Did "foo" move, or did "bar"? So I'm not sure that what you're asking for is necessarily well-defined. > Would be neat with a feature that does what I thought -S did tho... You can do: git log -z -p | perl -0ne 'print if /^[-+].*string/m' | tr '\0' '\n' which I think is what you want (show any commit that has changed lines that contain the string). But of course you will lose colorizing and automatic paging, and it's a lot slower. And note that whether it finds the example above will depend on how the diff is generated: did "foo" move or did "bar"? But in practice it will generally find what you are looking for. > Thanks, Jeff, for both the answer and the documentation patch.
