Using Git, how can I find the newest file?
Note this is not the same as the most recently changed file, but the commit that most recently introduced a file.

git log --diff-filter=A This reveals commits that introduced a file. It can be modified to show only the last commit that introduced a file
git log --diff-filter=A -1 or printing the diff of that file
git log --diff-filter=A -p or just the stat
git log --diff-filter=A --stat

Note that whether a file is "renamed" or "added" is sometimes a question of flags (-M arguments). @vcsjones: same here. :-)
