how to view changes to source code based on commit number
 
I would like to find out what source files were changes based on a commit log for the Linux kernel.

For example, the changelog for 2.6.28, there is a commit
Code:
commit 5cca0cf15a94417f49625ce52e23589eed0a1675 upstream
What is the best (and recommended) way to see what source code files were changed for this particular commit number.

In this case you could go to http://git.kernel.org/ then in the list find the stable 2.6.28 tree as "stable/linux-2.6.28.y.git". Drill down into it and search for "5cca0cf15a94417f49625ce52e23589eed0a1675" to find "2009-02-02 Suresh Siddha x86, pat: fix reserve_memtype() for legacy 1MB range": http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kerne...67c2b2f1cc2e48.
