Is there an easy way to say "diff against the most recent commit that
affected this file"? If I do git diff HEAD^ <file>, it diffs against
the previous commit to the repository as a whole, but that commit may
not have affected <file>. For example, I may commit to file changes to
file X, commit changes to file Y, then commit changes to file Z. If I
want to diff file X against the previous revision of file X, I'd have
to do 'git diff HEAD~3' (or manually look through the log for the
commit id), but that assumes I know that the previous commit that
affected file X was 3 commits ago.
