Hello Git, I think I have found quite interesting bug. For some files git log --follow is missing some commits, even though I would expect it to find more commits. I found a case for that in the git repository itself too: # git --version git version 2.36.0 # time git log --format=%H contrib/git-resurrect.sh e37eae0c1e13cb418947383f7c803d9463bfa3d7 d047154e7b2ab9c7191b0d72484012085051d521 3c833cae446364872b759c7622af2760a2f81a11 fba275dc93319ffa31ecebe015f8cda671fcf0e5 51ba8ce372ad9fcab04a013252b819625c44770a 50ab6558bf688e15048e189bdaf9174b217e1748 e1ff064e1bffedb917c491681b7bfd4d66633ef5 real 0m0.631s user 0m0.428s sys 0m0.120s # time git log --format=%H --follow contrib/git-resurrect.sh e37eae0c1e13cb418947383f7c803d9463bfa3d7 d047154e7b2ab9c7191b0d72484012085051d521 fba275dc93319ffa31ecebe015f8cda671fcf0e5 51ba8ce372ad9fcab04a013252b819625c44770a 50ab6558bf688e15048e189bdaf9174b217e1748 e1ff064e1bffedb917c491681b7bfd4d66633ef5 real 0m1.386s user 0m1.272s sys 0m0.066s You see that with --follow 3c833cae446364872b759c7622af2760a2f81a11 commit is missing. I also timed it, to note that git log --follow can be much slower. In my project I have seen a case, where git log takes ~10 seconds for a file, but --follow takes ~90 seconds. Thank you for looking at this. Best regards, Rihards
