Magic, that works! What I don't get is that I believe the file is removed in the 'merge' commit 'X', which is reachable from master, not in the feature branch: 2002 ---o----o-----o-----o-----X-----o-----o-----o--- 2011 (CDT) / 2006 ---o----o-----o-----o-- (2009) (DSF) > git log --simplify-merges --oneline -- plugins/org.eclipse.dd.dsf.debug/src/org/eclipse/dd/dsf/debug/service/IBreakpoints.java 2f1c904 [memory] DSDP-DD -> CDT initial commit 5b47187 Migrated DSF and DSF-GDB to the CDT project. 10580b5 Updated copyright statements. ... So 5b48718 is X, and the file exists in the DSF parent of X: c1e6da2 I think 2f1c904 is entirely wrong too -- it's another graft I've done, to a different repo, which isn't to do with DSF, and doesn't contain IBreakpoints.java: > git show 2f1c904:plugins/org.eclipse.dd.dsf.debug/src/org/eclipse/dd/dsf/debug/service/IBreakpoints.java fatal: Path 'plugins/org.eclipse.dd.dsf.debug/src/org/eclipse/dd/dsf/debug/service/IBreakpoints.java' does not exist in '2f1c904' Given the file was removed during my 'merge' graft in commit X, shouldn't it be visible in log without --simplify-merges?
