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
