有时候在比对代码时，看到某些改动，但不清楚这个改动的作者和原因，也不知道对应的BUG号，也就是说无从查到这些改动的具体原因了～

【注】：某个文件的改动是有限次的，而且每次代码修改的提交都会有commit描述，我们可以从这里进行入手；

一、切换到目录

首先切换到要查看的文件所在的目录：

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动历史，注意，这里着眼于具体的一个文件，而不是git库，如果是库，那改动可多了去了～

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，打印出来的就是针对文件MessageItem.java的所有的改动历史，每一行最前面的那一长串数字就是每次提交形成的哈希值，接下来使用git show即可显示具体的某次的改动的修改～

git show 356f6def9d3fb7f3b9032ff5aa4b9110d4cca87e

结果如下：

root@ubuntu:/android_src/packages/apps/Mms/src/com/android/mms/ui# git show 356f6def9d3fb7f3b9032ff5aa4b9110d4cca87e

这样就可以知道是谁做了修改，以及具体的修改代码～

那接下来不管是直接去找他交流还是研究代码，都有依据了～
