Subject: Most recent revision that contains a string
Message-ID: <87d1l3ce40.fsf@thinkpad.rath.org>

Hello,

What's the easiest way to find the most recent revision (of any file in
the repository, including those that have been deleted in the current
HEAD) that contains a given string?

I was hoping that "git grep" would do this (like in Mercurial), but as
far as I can tell it only greps through the working copy. Or is there a
trick that I'm missing?

Thanks,
-Nikolaus
