That shows you at least the most recent commit changing its value. Another way was to mark its definition and invoke `vc-region-history' which shows you all commits applied to that region. Both ways require that you run emacs from your git checkout of course. A third way is to use git directly in your emacs working directory: $ git log --grep=isearch-lax-whitespace which shows all commits where the commit message (which has traditionally ChangeLog format in emacs) contains the string isearch-lax-whitespace.
