It is not sufficient for it to be in the patch, it has to be added or 
deleted in whole.  So for example if you had a line

	org-publish-validate-link Hello

and you changed it to

	org-publish-validate-link World

git log -SWorld will find the commit, but git log 
-Sorg-publish-validate-link will not.

Hth,
