I realize that the "--" behaviour of git log was intentional, but seeing 
what it results in I think the intention was good, but stupid.

I haven't finished analysis yet, but I was reaching the same
conclusion.

v1.2.0 used to limit "git rev-list" to the current working
directory, v1.3.0 and newer does not.  But they do when "--" is
given.  This makes it impossible to do:

	cd Documentation
	echo >master
	git rev-list master
        ... get "ambiguous -- which do you mean?  rev, or
	... limited to path?" error message
        git rev-list master --
        ... I do mean unlimited and dig from 'master'

FWIW bisect points at your commit ae563542bf10fa8c33abd2a354e4b28aca4264d7
(First cut at libifying revlist generation) ;-).
