Subject: Buggy `git log -- path` behavior
Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2023 11:04:12 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4c02cd71-8bfc-4b6e-9ec0-3d98598a695a@app.fastmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

I think the below terminal session demonstrates a bug in git log. Notice the first git log command gives no output. Any thoughts?

~/src$ git clone http://github.com/torvalds/linux
...
~/src$ cd linux
~/src/linux$ git checkout v5.15
~/src/linux$ cd Documentation/vm
~/src/linux/Documentation/vm$ git log -n2 --name-status --oneline -- pagemap.rst
~/src/linux/Documentation/vm$ git log -n2 --name-status --oneline -- 'pagemap.*'
1ad1335dc586 docs/admin-guide/mm: start moving here files from Documentation/vm
D       Documentation/vm/pagemap.rst
41ea9dd36b6b docs/vm: pagemap: change document title
M       Documentation/vm/pagemap.rst
~/src/linux/Documentation/vm$

Thank you,
Matthew
