title: Find commit to find a very old deleted file in Azure Devops
body: <p>I started working on this project a little over a year ago, and it seems a file is missing from what may be even longer than that. I am trying to go back into my repo to find when this file may have been removed but I do not know what commit let alone the date or user who may have done it.</p>
  <p>It seem that in Azure Devops I can only search by name, path, user, date, or by just going thru every commit ever until I find the file lol.
  I have gone thru the history of the file that contains it but again without knowledge of the date or user or commit, I have no way to find it?</p>
  <p>I have tried git commands, something along the lines of</p>
  <pre><code>$ git log --all --full-history -- &lt;path-to-file&gt;
  $ git log --all --full-history -- **/thefile.*
  </code></pre>
  <p>or stuff I've found here on stack, like</p>
  <pre><code>grep -rnw '/path/to/somewhere/' -e 'pattern'
  </code></pre>
  <p>and all the alternate version of that.</p>
  <p>These and many commands or routes to find it in the actual Azure Devops backend site that's attached to Visual Studios... just all don't seem to help.</p>
  <p>Hoping anyone knew of a way around this or a command to find it?
  Thanks!</p>
