I tried this on today's git.git repository, as a suggestion for following moves: $ git log -M -C -C --color --stat --follow -- gitk-git/po/de.po | wc -l 0 sgala@marlow ~/newcode/git/git (master)$ git log -M -C -C --color --stat -- gitk-git/po/de.po | wc -l 31 $ git --version git version 1.5.4.4 I find very strange that --follow makes git log to stop outputting the first entries.
