git log --patch for a particular file

I want this:

git log --patch -- server/src/api/docs.py

to print changes only for the file server/src/api/docs.py.

Currently, it in some reasons outputs nothing (this seems not to be an intended behavior and could be counted as a bug).

More generally, git log --patch -- A B C could log changes in files A, B, C (only).

It is questionable, whether to output commit information (commit hash, user email, etc.) for commits that don't change specified file(s). I would vote to indeed output this information, not to confuse the user about the order of commits.
