It's actually even stranger. -S does not seem to filter merges at
all. For example, in git.git
$ git log | grep -c ^Merge
4677
$ git log -Sthis_string_never_existed_anywhere -c | grep -c ^Merge
4677
I think it should just filter all history, shouldn't it? After all
$ git log -- this_file_never_existed
also comes up empty.
