If I add --follow, I get history: git log --follow --oneline -- plugins/org.eclipse.dd.dsf.debug/src/org/eclipse/dd/dsf/debug/service/IBreakpoints.java 10580b5 Updated copyright statements. ...

In this case the commit is a 'merge' commit as history looks like: 2002 ---o----o-----o-----o-----X-----o-----o-----o--- 2011 (CDT) / 2006 ---o----o-----o-----o-- (2009) (DSF) CDT has existed since 2002. In 2006, at X, DSF was committed onto HEAD of CDT. Basically wholesale apart from the path (Java package) change (+some minor changes to 'import's). So I created a graft from the commit which made it appear from CDT onto the HEAD of a DSF as it was when the import happened. Which makes X have two parents.
