>From today git:

$ git rev-list --all -- git-gui/git-gui.sh | wc
      7       7     287
$ git rev-list --all --full-history -- git-gui/git-gui.sh | wc
      9       9     369


So only the merges from git://repo.or.cz/git-gui are shown.


Am I missing something? How can I get full history?


Thanks
Marco

Remember, git does not have concept of "file identity".  Path
filtering feature of "git log" family of commands is just that:
filtering by path.

You are asking for commits that have difference in the specified
paths (in your case, "git-gui/git-gui.sh") from their parents.

Shawn's git-gui repository does not have such a path at all.  He
has git-gui.sh at the toplevel.

$ git rev-list -- git-gui.sh | wc -l
158

```

This is strange....

On my box I have:

$ git --version
git version 1.5.1.1.190.g74474
$ git rev-parse HEAD
744747ef1d75c85fb3a1785cb08d36497128d3d3
$ git status
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
$ git rev-list -- git-gui.sh | wc -l
usage: git-rev-list [OPTION] <commit-id>... [ -- paths... ]
  limiting output:
    --max-count=nr
    --max-age=epoch
    --min-age=epoch
    --sparse
    --no-merges

    --stdin

I think Junio was referring to Shawn's git-gui repo:
http://repo.or.cz/w/git-gui.git

...Obviously, if you search for git-gui.sh in the toplevel directory
of git.git repo you won't find anything ;)...

try git rev-list --all --full-history -- git-gui.sh | wc -l, that gives 
158 for me (in the git repo) ...

In the git repo, try this:

git show 41bdcda37376a5faa63028f01260890723c3fcfa -- git-gui.sh

Yes, --full-history here is the missed link here, it works also with
just HEAD instead of --all

$ git rev-list HEAD --full-history -- git-gui.sh | wc -l
158


Unfortunatly this is much slower,

$ time git rev-list HEAD --full-history -- git-gui.sh > /dev/null
1.77user 0.03system 0:01.88elapsed 95%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k

$ time git rev-list HEAD -- git-gui.sh > /dev/null

I forgot that git could search in that history too...

btw:

git grep full-history Documentation/* | wc -l
0

```
