I normally do something like:

	git log -r --raw -p -SSTRING
	git log -r --raw -p -GREGEXP

You can also add --diff-filter=D to filter only on deletes.

Btw, please don't set these headers on kernel.org lists:

	Mail-Copies-To: never
	Mail-Followup-To: [email-masked]

Like any mail server, vger fails from time-to-time and
reply-to-all prevents it from being a single point of failure.
Thanks.
