有時候在比對代碼時，看到某些改動，但不清楚這個改動的作者和原因，也不知道對應的BUG號，也就是說無從查到這些改動的具體原因了～
【注】：某個文件的改動是有限次的，而且每次代碼修改的提交都會有commit描述，我們可以從這里進行入手；
一、切換到目錄
首先切換到要查看的文件所在的目錄：
cd packages/apps/Mms/src/com/android/mms/ui/
二、git log --pretty
然后使用下面的命令可列出文件的所有改動歷史，注意，這里著眼于具體的一個文件，而不是git庫，如果是庫，那改動可多了去了～
git log --pretty=oneline 文件名
如：
root@ubuntu:android_src/packages/apps/Mms/src/com/android/mms/ui# git log --pretty=oneline MessageItem.java

三、git show
如上所示，打印出來的就是針對文件MessageItem.java的所有的改動歷史，每一行最前面的那一長串數(shù)字就是每次提交形成的哈希值，接下來使用git show即可顯示具體的某次的改動的修改～
git show 356f6def9d3fb7f3b9032ff5aa4b9110d4cca87e
結果如下：
root@ubuntu:/android_src/packages/apps/Mms/src/com/android/mms/ui# git show 356f6def9d3fb7f3b9032ff5aa4b9110d4cca87e

這樣就可以知道是誰做了修改，以及具體的修改代碼～
那接下來不管是直接去找他交流還是研究代碼，都有依據(jù)了～
