It is consistent, when you realise that the path arguments are interpreted

Then why doesn't this work?

all the log for Documentation....
jonsmirl@terra:~/mpc5200b$ cd Documentation
jonsmirl@terra:~/mpc5200b/Documentation$ git log Documentation
fatal: ambiguous argument 'Documentation': unknown revision or path
not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions
jonsmirl@terra:~/mpc5200b/Documentation$
Because your current working directory, relative to the project root, is
prepended to the path you're in, so git sees "Documentation/Documentation".
I'm unsure why
cd Documentation; git log -- /Documentation
doesn't do the trick though. I know that particular trick used to work for
some other command a while back anyways.
