I assumed you meant the most recent change to a file in that particular release, which is obviously just whatever the most recent entry is. If you meant "if I have the Emacs 24.7 tarfile, and want to know what the last change to subdir/foo.el was in Emacs 24.1, without either the 24.1 tarfile or a copy of the repository", then first you would have to hope that 24.7 and 24.1 came from the same branch, and then you would just look at the top-level ChangeLog (rather than subdir/ChangeLog) in 24.7 to get the release date for 24.1.
