Indeed you are right! Commits which are by "someone" and have "something" in it in the same time are missing. So here --invert-grep works as a big "NOT" operator on the whole rest of the command line, which is not expected (at least by me). > I think --author=someone greps the "author " field in the commit > object looking for the hit with "someone", and your request asks to > show commits that either do not have "something" or was not written > by "someone", I would guess. Note that I can still see commits with "something", and I can also see commits by "someone" in my results. So my request actually ask for commits which have neither "something" nor are done by "someone". Anyway I don't think that's the expected result, hence is still a bug. Am I wrong?
