Magit easily does that and more:

   - Not only you can see the log for an individual file - you can trace the evolution of a given function.

   - You can diff not only branches, commits and files - you can diff them in reverse order, diff the changes since the last pull, etc.

   - From the diff you can jump to the file in Dired. Dired is an Emacs' "DIRectory EDitor" - it lets you not only browse, but edit the entire [nested] file-tree as if it is a wiki page (using all the tools like multiple cursors, search&edit, etc.) and then commit changes that immediately would be reflected in the filesystem.

   - You can mark some files and dirs in Diread and stage/unstage them, or even ask Magit to show the logs pertaining only those items.

   - You can reorder, squash, fixup, or reword commits quickly

   - Bisecting, cherry-picking, reverting, stashing, patching, etc., also very clean and intuitive
