Are you doing: git log app/Controller/CustomerCardVerificationController.php or similar? If that is the case, then history simplification may be causing the results you see. And even you don't _see_ any merges in the output, that is because they were simplified away. And the commit you are looking for may have been on a side branch that was simplified away. If you do: git log --full-history app/... does the commit you are interested in show up? If so, then it was removed due to history simplification. And if you are surprised that a side branch was simplified away, that is most likely because there is a mis-merge in your history (some merge which threw away the changes on a side branch). Try: git log --graph --oneline --name-status --full-history app/... to see the whole shape of history, including which commits touched the file. You can read more about it in the "History Simplification" section of "git help log". -Peff
