I don't see how it would. The commits are all reachable from HEAD, which would seem to be the problem that --all would correct.

What I'm trying to do is find the commits in which a file differs from that same file in any of its parents.

If I'm missing something, could you provide an example of using git-log --all to accomplish this?
