Here are some tools.

  # prerequisite:
  apt-get install git; # as root

  # to get the kernel history:
  git clone \
    https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
  cd linux

  # to view the changelog:
  git log v3.2..

  # to grep change descriptions:
  git log --grep=min_free_kbytes v3.2..

  # to view the patches corresponding to changes:
  git log --patch v3.2.. -- mm/

  # graphical interface
  apt-get install gitk; # as root
  gitk v3.2.. -- mm

  # web interface:
  w3m http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

The "exploring git history" section of the git user manual has more
details:

Thanks,
