Description
Trying to emulate the following, it outputs the SHA of the commit this particular file was changed last:
git rev-list -1 HEAD file.ext
Here git-rev-list is listed under low-level plumbing commands, but I could not find how to actually use it anywhere?
How can rev-list be called with libgit2sharp or if it can not, is there any other way to get the commit where a given file was last modified?

Research direction
Start with the linked LibGit2Sharp Hitchhiker's Guide entry for git-rev-list and compare it with the available LibGit2Sharp usage described in the issue. Done means documenting whether the requested git rev-list -1 HEAD file.ext behavior is supported and, if not, identifying the alternative approach without leaving the question unanswered.
