I just figured this out today!

In v8 repos, every annexed file gets replaced by a text string like this:

```
+/annex/objects/SHA256E-s320029--488e29f5584ba4e474db95aa42fbb58ddb92f2a59bc0b24a91171acb4d8f4828.png
```

((

you can see them with `git log -p` or

```
$ git show HEAD:vlcsnap-2019-03-22-03h42m47s659.png
/annex/objects/SHA256E-s320029--488e29f5584ba4e474db95aa42fbb58ddb92f2a59bc0b24a91171acb4d8f4828.png
```

))

So to get the reverse pointer, you can use `git grep`:

```
$ git grep SHA256E-s320029--488e29f5584ba4e474db95aa42fbb58ddb92f2a59bc0b24a91171acb4d8f4828.png HEAD
HEAD:vlcsnap-2019-03-22-03h42m47s659.png:/annex/objects/SHA256E-s320029--488e29f5584ba4e474db95aa42fbb58ddb92f2a59bc0b24a91171acb4d8f4828.png
```
