git status for a past commit?

how to do a git status to view changed files in a past commit?

NOTE: this question might have already been asked, but phrased much differently. however, I am astounded to see that searching for the following expression on Google yields no useful results: git status for past commit.

I found:

git show --stat --oneline b8351c4

Where b8351c4 is the regarded commit.

git status is the wrong command here. If you want to see what a previous commit did you should use git show <commit>.
