I don't know if that's what you are looking for but perhaps you could=20
use "git bisect run". You just need to pass it a script that returns 1 =
when=20
it finds the changes and 0 otherwise. (See git-bisect man page.)

Sometimes ago I sent a patch that would allow "!" after "git bisect run=
",=20
but it seems to have been forgotten. This patch makes it possible to us=
e:

git bisect run ! grep some_stuff file1 file2...

This would give you the commit where some_stuff was introduced in file1=
 or=20
file2...

Christian.
