There's usually a large amount of comments and metadata relating to code that isn't present in the source files themselves, but in an external database:

    git blame path/to/file.txt

I think this is one of the most underused tools in software development! I wish more editors had features like "show me the history of this class/function" etc.

Strange. If I do this here all I get is “Empty commit message” for every change.

And if you're really lucky, you can go find that commit in the Code Review tool...
