If you are using linux, here is git diff command I use to find leftover
debug statements. I imagine the -S option will work the same in git
log. I pipe the results into grep to filter the results to show only
the additions. (I'm using git 1.7.1)
$ git diff --unified=0 -S"DEBUG" <commit> <commit> -- <path> | grep -e
"diff --" -e "+" | grep -v -e "@@" -e "+++"
maybe you will find this helpful.
v/r,
