Find when line was deleted

Question

Earlier today I discovered that some code was missing from my Git repository. I knew some of the missing text, and the file that it was in, so I used git log -S\'missi

Answer 1

git log doesn't show a diff for merge commits by default. The -c or --cc flags should do the trick:

git log -c -S'missingtext' /path/to/file
