Hi,

How can I find files with a given name (or pattern) in my history (where I don't know the exact path and some files have been removed)?

Thank you, Ittay

I'd grep in the output of "git rev-list --objects". Then I'd have the full name, and "git log --all -- <fullpath>" is my friend.

Ciao, Dscho
