I normally do something like:
git log -r --raw -p -SSTRING
git log -r --raw -p -GREGEXP
You can also add --diff-filter=D to filter only on deletes.
Btw, please don't set these headers on kernel.org lists:
Mail-Copies-To: never
Mail-Followup-To: git@vger.kernel.org
Like any mail server, vger fails from time-to-time and
reply-to-all prevents it from being a single point of failure.
Thanks.
