This is not the oldest commit in the tree. Using git log
starting at the hash, you should be able to find older commits
which touch the file. The thing is that history around the time
of that "initial creation" commit, is quite messy, because the
CVS tree back then was deleted and recreated a number of times
and merged in some odd ways.
