slightly off topic isn't it. – rlemon Jan 4 at 21:53

I think this question is fine. It's no more off-topic than a question about Firefox, Gedit, or unrar, isn't it? (Programmers, by the way, is the wrong site - via their FAQ: "not about [...] programming tools (ask on Stack Overflow instead)") – Stefano Palazzo♦ Jan 5 at 15:50
@StefanoPalazzo: i think you're right, i've removed my comment. – tohuwawohu Jan 5 at 17:09
I closed on a whim :(... foey. I think this should be reopened. – Roland Taylor Jan 8 at 23:47

Use git log --numstat --oneline <Filename>. This will give you a list of commits for file <Filename>, with two lines for each commit, using this syntax:

[sha hash] [commit title line]
[lines added] [lines removed] [path to file in repository]
