Is it possible to check the git reflog for all commits to a specific file. I made a commit to file foo.txt and now it no longer shows in the git history via <pre class="prettyprint"><code>git log foo.txt </code></pre> I want to search the reflog to find all commits to this file so I can find my "lost" commit.

Came across this while searching for an answer, which is simple: <code>git reflog -- $PATH</code>, which will include amends and other actions that will not be visible otherwise (though beware, reflog will be pruned by gc)
