Why --follow makes git produce truncated history for
file that wasn't
renamed?

I just briefly looked at this. It's because all changes
to the relevant
file are in merge commits. If you run the "log" with
"--stat" you'll see
no output.
Something in the --follow machinery takes the same
shortcut on merges
and doesn't consider them.
