You seem to be indicating here (and elsewhere in the thread) that there exists some history graph for which neither "git log" nor "git log --full-history" produces the output you want, but that there is some better output (even if it might take more time to compute).

Perhaps I am just slow, but I haven't been able to figure out what that history is, or what the "correct" output should be. Can you try to state more clearly what it is you are looking for?
