I seem to be stuck a little with this. I'm not sure which other sub- commands other than log and commit have similar behaviour as I'm aware of "why" they behave that way. I tried a little but thought it was better ask this one.

What could be the source of this issue? (I guess this may help identify the possible commands if the source is common.)

Which documentation(s) could be candidates for the suggested change? How about "Documentation/git.txt"?
