locate commit by file
Hi,
Given a file, is there an easy way (e.g., not bisectig) to find the latest commit where the file content is the same?
Meaning: I have a file /tmp/A and I want to file the latest commit where a/b/A is identical (content wise) to /tmp/A.
Thank you,
Ittay

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...
