FWIW, I've done that a few times (in general, to understand if the 
current state of the spec reflects a willful change or is just the 
result of sedimentation), and reflowing commits had made that painful, 
but I've since found that
   git log -S '<text_to_be_searched_for>' --source --all
basically solved my issue without having to suffer from non-substantive 
commits.
