This looks like a bug?   man git-log:
       [--] <path>...
           Show only commits that affect any of the specified paths.
To prevent confusion with options and branch names,
           paths may need to be prefixed with "-- " to separate them
from options or refnames.

git log --graph --oneline

git log --simplify-merges --oneline -- four
05512d0 nine
94392ac eight
5183657 four

but the merge commit at 'nine' has nothing to do with that path 'four'.


Reproduction steps:

commit() {
 echo $1 >>$1 && git add $1 && git commit -m $1
}

git init repo
cd repo
commit one
commit two
commit three

git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/newroot
rm *
git rm --cached *
commit four
commit five

git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/newnewroot
rm *
git rm --cached *
commit six
commit six
commit seven

git checkout master
git merge --no-commit newroot

git mv four four2
commit eight
commit four2

git merge --no-commit newnewroot

git mv six six2
commit nine
commit six2
