Allright, this is much closer now;) I used

git rev-list HEAD | git diff-tree --root -c --stdin | grep <SHA1 of blob interest>

(I need to read now about diff-tree) That gives me the output like this:

::SourceMode1 SourceMode2 resultMode Source1-SHA1 Source2-SHA1 resultingSHA1 MM path/to/file

Now two questions:

1. a) Why this exact output is not provided in "git log --raw" or in
"git whatchanged" for the merge commits? b) Can it be provided?
2. If 1b=no Is this the ultimate final solution to check if the blob
has appeared somewhere in the history?

Thanks! Eugene
