Subject: finding the commit that deleted a file
Message-ID: <49F953BC.7070303@melosgmbh.de>

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
