Re: git log -S not finding all commits?

Yes, it's the correct behaviour. -S finds only lines where what you search
for was added or deleted. It counts the number of occurrences of what you
specify in each resulting tree and only shows the commits where that number
changed. In your case, searching for "Free data " would have printed both
commits, since you first introduce that entire string and then remove it.

Thanks. However, your suggestion doesn't work. It prints only commit 2. Maybe
you meant:

$ PAGER=cat git log --pickaxe-regex -S'Free data$' --oneline

but that doesn't solve my problem. I want to find all commits which changed
lines containing "Free data" (the example I posted is simplified).

Seems I have to use "git log -p" and search its output using pager...
