[jboss-as7-dev] Can't one search commits on github?

[Scott Stark]

Ok, that works, but I still don't see how that syntax is described in 
the log help output.  It is showing much more than just that commit. For 
example, I found a commit using:

[130](ironmaiden:jboss-as) > git log | grep -C 4 JBAS-9270
commit f8f5e98f0db9de0d225ef96a9a88dec3e5b84a42

Now I do git log f8f5e98f0db9de0d225ef96a9a88dec3e5b84a42
[133](ironmaiden:jboss-as) > git log 
f8f5e98f0db9de0d225ef96a9a88dec3e5b84a42
