Hello.
$ git log include/__vic/mutex.h
commit 9429293f8f8fb0819c77cf1f723567f6edc8fb6a
Merge: 96dd9a2 f484f4e
Author: __vic <__vic@ngs.ru>
Date: 2017-12-13 10:41:32 +0300
Merge branch 'generic' into posix
commit f484f4e8aae32041ba56bdce12d1efd8491e94d5
Merge: 86b848a b9bbbe6
Author: __vic <__vic@ngs.ru>

waitable_event, thread, mutex
$ git log --follow include/__vic/mutex.h
$
Why --follow makes git produce truncated history for file
that wasn't renamed?

I just briefly looked at this. It's because all changes to the relevant
file are in merge commits. If you run the "log" with "--stat" you'll see
no output.
Something in the --follow machinery takes the same shortcut on merges
and doesn't consider them.

No. I just thought I'd peek at it for a sec, sorry. Maybe someone else
is interested it poking it some more.
