We don't seem to trigger a diff, which is where "git log" does the follow check (because of the way it's bolted onto the diff, and not the actual pathspec-pruning mechanism). Something like the patch below seems to work, but there are a lot of open questions. And it would probably want to do something to prevent nonsense like "shortlog -p" from showing actual diffs. I suspect a better solution might involve actually building on log-tree.c to do the traversal (since this internal traversal is supposed to be equivalent to "git log | git shortlog"). diff --git a/builtin/shortlog.c b/builtin/shortlog.c index 43c4799ea9..31274a92f5 100644 --- a/builtin/shortlog.c +++ b/builtin/shortlog.c @@ -175,8 +175,31 @@ static void get_from_rev(struct rev_info *rev, struct shortlog *log) if (prepare_revision_walk(rev)) die(_("revision walk setup failed")); - while ((commit = get_revision(rev)) != NULL) - shortlog_add_commit(log, commit); + while ((commit = get_revision(rev)) != NULL) { + int show_commit; + + /* trigger a diff to give --follow a chance to kick in */ + if (!commit->parents) { + /* should diff against empty tree or respect --root? */ + show_commit = 1; + } else if (commit->parents->next) { + /* how to handle merge commits? */ + show_commit = 1; + } else { + struct commit *parent = commit->parents->item; + + parse_commit_or_die(parent); + parse_commit_or_die(commit); + diff_tree_oid(&parent->tree->object.oid, + &commit->tree->object.oid, + "", &rev->diffopt); + show_commit = !diff_queue_is_empty(); + diff_flush(&rev->diffopt); + } + + if (show_commit) + shortlog_add_commit(log, commit); + } } static int parse_uint(char const **arg, int comma, int defval)
