When i merged git.git into git-gui with subtree strategy, I found all histories of git.git merged into histories of git-gui (from 584 history entries to 11985). Is it possible that only histories related to git-gui subdirectory in git.git(i.e. histories displayed by git-log git-gui) are merged into?

1. my configuration:
~/git-gui$ git-remote show git
* remote git
  URL: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
  Tracked remote branches
    master
~/git-gui$ git-remote show origin
* remote origin
  URL: git://repo.or.cz/git-gui
    Remote branch(es) merged with 'git pull' while on branch master
      master
    Tracked remote branches
      master
~/git-gui$ gtlg --pretty=oneline --topo-order --first-parent | wc -l
584

2. pull with subtree strategy
~/git-gui$  git-pull -s subtree git master:master

3. after pull, all logs of git comes into git-gui (584->11985)
~/git-gui$ gtlg --pretty=oneline --topo-order | wc -l
11985

4. histories of git can be hiden by --first-parent
gtlg --pretty=oneline --topo-order --first-parent | wc -l
585
