git describe <blob>

If the given object refers to a blob, it will be described as
<commit-ish>:<path>,
such that the blob can be found at <path> in the <commit-ish>, which itself
describes the first commit in which this blob occurs in a reverse
revision walk from HEAD.

Since
644eb60bd01 (builtin/describe.c: describe a blob, 2017-11-15)
(included first in 2.16.0

You're welcome,
Stefan
