Junio C Hamano [off-list ref] writes:
"git log" family of commands, even when run from a subdirectory,
do not limit the revision range with the current directory as
the path limiter, but with double-dash without any paths after
it, i.e. "git log --" do so. It was a mistake to have a
difference between "git log --" and "git log" introduced in
commit ae563542bf10fa8c33abd2a354e4b28aca4264d7 (First cut at
libifying revlist generation).

In case it was not obvious, this patch is meant to make the
previous patch from me to change gitk unneeded.
