A command in the "log" family uses revision traversal and uses one pathspec (pruning.pathspec) to cull side branches and skip irrelevant commits, and another pathspec (diffopt.pathspec) to specify how the found commit is shown. Off the top of my head, currently the only case the pathspec of these diff options differ is when --full-diff is used, but they are independent concepts. I would suspect this would matter even more once somebody wants to redo the --follow hack to actually follow different renamed-from path per merged branches, but I haven't thought through the issues. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
