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

[David M. Lloyd]

Well a git commit is the culmination of a change plus the commit that 
came before it.  So, if you ask for the log of a specific rev, you get 
what it is in full.  If you want information about just one change, then 
"git show f8f5e98f0db9de0d225ef96a9a88dec3e5b84a42" might help.
