Is there a git find analogue of git grep, i.e., something that will find a filename by pattern in the tree? I've gone through a lot of git documentation and not found this, but I'm having a hard time believing it doesn't exist somewhere.

3that almost works; it uses globs rather than regexps, and requires me to say `ls-files **/filename` rather than `ls-files filename`. seems weird that git can do regexp searches through the contents of files but not through their filenames.

A:
You can list all files in a tree object using git ls-tree -r --name-only --full-tree <treeish>. Pipe this through a regular grep to find what you're looking for.
