I'm confused - why aren't these available on your local disk?  Do you
not have a clone of the kernel repository local?  If you don't have
a clone you aren't really going to be able to get a history.

But assuming you had one use whatchanged:

	git whatchanged A

will show only the commits which affected file A, listing them in
reverse order (most recent to oldest).
