git - "git log -- file_name"显示小于 "git log --first-parent -- file_name"

Question

在删除文件的地方进行 merge 后，“git log -- file_name”没有显示当前分支的提交。但是，如果我执行“git log”或“git log --first-parent -- file_name”，提交就会出现。为什么？

重新创建的步骤:

git init
echo "First" > file1.txt
git add file1.txt && git commit -m "Adding file1.txt"
echo "Second" > file2.txt
git add file2.txt && git commit -m "Adding file2.txt"
git checkout -b side_branch
echo "... and third" >> file1.txt  # modifying file1.txt in side_branch
git commit -am "*** Adding third to file1.txt in side_branch"
git checkout master
git rm file1.txt && git commit -m "Removing file1.txt in master"
git checkout side_branch
git merge master
git rm file1.txt && git commit --no-edit

git log -- file1.txt                 # Doesn't show commit with *** 
git log                              # Shows commit with *** 
git log --first-parent -- file1.txt  # Shows commit with *** 
git log --follow -- file1.txt        # Shows commit with *** 

我认为日志命令的 --first-parent 版本会显示第一个日志命令列出的提交的子集，但事实并非如此。

我的猜测是默认的 History Simplification算法意识到更改与 master 的 merge 无关。如果你明确地关闭简化，你会得到你所期望的:

git log --full-history -- file1.txt     # Shows commit with ***
