To get a list of branches which contain a specific commit we use:
$ git branch --contains <commit id>

Is there a similar way to get a list of branches with respect to a specific blob (e.g. the actual code change a commit introduces)?

Obvious use-case: One isn't interested in the commit information (author, parent, date) but merely in the set of changes a commit introduces.
