Subject: [PATCH] cg-log: also search the initial commit for files
Message-ID: <20050602131000.GA16143@diku.dk>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20050602131000.GA16143%40diku.dk

```
When restricting the log to a set of files pass --root to git-diff-tree if
no parent is found so the initial commit is also checked.
