What did you do before the bug happened? $ git log -8 --author=Shachar --grep=Revert --invert-grep

What did you expect to happen? I expected to see the last 8 commits from Shachar that did not have the string "Revert" in the commit message.

What happened instead? The list of commits included commits by authors other than Shachar.

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? The "--author" filter seems to be ignored when the "--invert-grep" option is used. I also tried to change the order of the options, but the results remained the same.
