Is this a bug in git-whatchanged, or at least an insufficiently documented feature?

cd git
git whatchanged 837a156197e7~20..837a156197e7 -1 
    [nothing]
git whatchanged 837a156197e7~20..837a156197e7 -3
    [1 commit]
git whatchanged 837a156197e7~20..837a156197e7 -1 -m
    [1(?) commit]

It appears that without -m, merges are filtered after commits are counted.
