Following scenario:
Some file x was deleted (or renamed, but the --follow option does not
succeed) some 100 commits ago.
Now, I would like to check the 'lost' contents for some reason.
Is it possible to find out when a given file (path) was deleted?
(And then, with the obtained SHA1, use gitk or some such tool to inspect
this file.)
Thank you.
Best regards

"gitk -- the/name/of/deleted/file" :)

For completeness, the answer to the first part of the question:
git log --diff-filter=D -- the/name/of/deleted/file
