Subject: how to determine version of binary
Date: Sat, 05 May 2012 02:12:44 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <jo2jtd$m6c$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)

Scenario:  I detect a binary file that is 'dirty'.  I don't know how it 
got there.  However, I know it came from a git repo.  So I calculate the 
sha1 of the binary.  What is the git command to determine which commit 
that binary version first appeared in?  And the last commit that binary 
appeared in?

Why:  we have people ftp'ing binaries around.  I want to see the commit 
message and source change of that commit to see what the binary version is.

v/r,
neal
