For printk.c look for commit

Here is a bit better example than Linus gave:

[snip]

Now compare the output of "git-log file1", "git-log --full-history  
file1"
and "git-log --full-history --parents file1". You get either both  
merge
commits or none, but only one of it is relevant to file1.

The problem is that in practice "git-log --full-history --parents"
produces way too much information to be useful right away.

Output looks correct to me. And of course --full-history --parents  
gives lots of output - that's what it's for. You seem to believe that  
the appropriate output is, what, to display the initial commit, both  
commits that modified file1, and the first merge, yes? Can you please  
clarify the logic that states that the first merge commit should be  
shown but the second should not?
