There does not exist a single git command that would do what you want. You would need to use 'git log -1 --follow' for each file in current snapshot ('git ls-tree -r HEAD'). IIRC there is some example how to do that in GitFaq or GitTips on git wiki (http://git.wiki.kernel.org).

Perhaps in the future 'git blame <directory>' would provide such output, or its equivalent (tree blame).

By the way, what do you ned this for? Git versions whole project at once, not individual files. Is it some legacy from CVS?
