That would be

  commit 94cba8034ba53725c225c85e35724f0c2b13cea5
  Author: Ryan Moeller <freqlabs@FreeBSD.org>
  Date:   Sun Aug 9 16:27:28 2020 +0000

      Move ifconfig SFP status functionality into libifconfig
      [...]

One way to get at that information is
$ git log --compact-summary stable/14 -- lib/libifconfig

Or just look at the history of one of those files:
$ git log stable/14 -- lib/libifconfig/libifconfig_sfp_tables.tpl.h

To get an understanding of the Git fundamentals, read the first
three chapters of the Git book:
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2

Also, instead of Git you can use Got (ports/devel/got), which also
works with Git repositories, but has a very different, svn-inspired
user interface.
