There may be an easier way to do this, but the way I do it is (sort
of) documented in
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html#Finding-comments-With-given-Content
(should be "commits" instead of "comments", but oh well!) and can be
tweaked to suit yourself:
git log --raw --abbrev=40 --pretty=oneline |
grep -B 24 `git hash-object a.cpp`
There may be other, and possibly more efficient, ways to do this, but
it generally works for me.
