However, adding a new option to "git log" so that you can say 'git log --single-follow=$this_file_at_the_tip $branch' is a separate matter. I think it is a sensible thing to do. But even if we do that, I think --single-follow should limit itself to the rename following of "diff -M/-C" style. It is insane to include another path only because the result did copy&paste only a handful lines out of during its history.
Some weeks ago I've started to experiment with git-log as a replacement for git-rev-list (as suggested by Linus in a thread). I found some problems and so I stopped, but I think it's time to give it another look. Maybe this week-end I'll do some testing.
