Find a commit that includes a specific file

[BatmanAoD]

I have somehow lost a file that I added to my workspace. I have the mv command in my shell history showing the name that I gave it, but the file is not present in any of the commits I've checked. I also tried restoring a few operations from the op log, and still couldn't find it.

It's possible that I somehow deleted the file without jj ever getting the chance to snapshot it, but I'm hoping that's not the case.

Is there a way to search all commits for the existence of a particular file?

You can do jj log -r .. <path> to find any visible commits that touched the file. We unfortunately don't yet have a way of including all commits that have ever been visible (#2623). If you're in a colocated repo, you can probably do git log --all <path> to find it, since that will include all commits reachable from the refs/jj/keep/* refs.
