Am I missing something, as in e.g. even with > --full-history git-log does some simplification? I tried to reproduce this with a repo from scratch, and it seems my problem is the following: 1) "A" creates a feature branch 2) "A" works on it, and in the meantime master progresses as well 3) "A" merges master to the feature branch 4) "A" does some additional changes, and -- in an evil way -- uses "git commit -a --amend" to squeeze these into the merge commit 5) "B" (that's me) comes and try to find out where a string got deleted, but can't. Here is a reproducer script: ---- rm -rf scratch mkdir scratch cd scratch git init echo -e "a\na\na\na\na\na\na\na\n" > a git add a git commit -m init git branch feature echo "b" >> a git add a git commit -m "more master changes" git checkout feature sed -i '1iXXX' a # insert first row git add a git commit -m "feature" git merge -m merge master sed -i '1d' a # delete first row git add a git commit --amend -m "merge" ---- I now know that the XXX got removed by the merge commit, but how can I see it that I'm right? If I run 'git log --all -p' in the result, I see that XXX got inserted by one commit, now I don't have it, but I don't see any deletion, which confuses me. Any ideas? :-) Thanks, Miklos
