How can I get all the tags that have been applied to a file in a git repository?

When I do a git log filename or some listing of the commits that a file has been through, I'd like to see all the tags that were applied to the repository where the file was exactly the version specified in the git log filename. Is this possible?

First, figure out the commit hash of the commit you are interested in -- in this example it is 6502bcc16b3790cc22cb771d1da3e8f35b4009c0:

$ git log «filename»
commit 6502bcc16b3790cc22cb771d1da3e8f35b4009c0
Author: Mike Morearty <[email protected]>
Date:   Wed Jun 13 16:04:56 2012

    added «filename»

Then, use git tag --contains to ask for all tags that contain that commit:

$ git tag --contains 6502bcc16b3790cc22cb771d1da3e8f35b4009c0
tag1
tag2

If you want to do all of that in one line, here is one way (perhaps there are more efficient ways):

$ git tag --contains $(git log -1 --pretty=%H «filename»)
