On IRC, Thomas explained to me that mixing in changes from various
branches into the pathspec will break this so-called determinism. To
try it out for yourself, do:
$ cd /tmp
$ git clone gh:trast/subtree-mainline-example
$ cd subtree-mainline-example
$ git log HEAD^2 -- sub # only lists the side changes
$ git log -- dir/sub # only lists the mainline changes
What we should really expect is a mix of the two.
