With\npathspec, when we look at a single-parent commit, we inspect it to\ndecide if it matches the criteria of touching the specified paths.\n\nWhen we are looking at a merge commit, however, if one of the\nparents match the result at all the paths that match the given\npathspec, we know any and all commits on the other side branches do\nnot matter in the result, hence we can omit them by not even having\nto follow that parent ancestry.\n\nIf you mention --full-history in your answer, it will be perfect ;-)\n"}]}
