if there's a sufficiently populated revision library available:

do any of the current batch of revision library browsers include full
version inventory tracking like Tom's original set of shell+awk
scripts did?  that's the easiest way I know of to get an overview of
what changesets modified a particular file.

even without one, I'd guess you could run some sort of a find+grep
invocation to search for the filename in <revision>/,,patch-set/mod-files-index
which is the method my personal revlib browser uses.
