Anyway, the whole thread is interesting.  Sorry for the noise.

Thanks, I had a look. This is indeed giving some procedure... I was hopping
for something faster (git rev-list takes some time!).

It's not really meant to be a common case; if the same file is created
under different names by different commits that aren't ancestors of
each other, then it's unclear which should be reported. As such,
there's no index or other such thing to quickly find the commits
corresponding to a blob, so you just have to walk the entire history.
