Find commit that blob belongs to

[Daniel Sheppard]

Hello,

I am wondering if there is a way to get the commit a blob belongs to.

Thanks

Hi Daniel,

Unfortunately there isn't any way other than scanning history (though depending on the situation you can probably do this in a clever way). This is an inherent consequence of the git data model.

Thanks, kind of figured that.

I am trying to diff against the last object and I was doing it using a custom diff function that needs the indexes but I realised I can just take the change object and diff against that.

I also decided to store a cache of the sha's in the database (for both the commits and the objects) so that makes things easier too.  Thanks for the quick response.
