It is this commit:

1798562: "log --raw: Don't descend into subdirectories by default"

And sure enough,

$ git log next -r --diff-filter=A -- t/t5401-update-hooks.sh

works.

Soon after I accepted the patch, I had this exact reaction and
then after some digging I realized the workaround you showed
above.  And I forgot all of them X-<.  Silly me.
