Actually for that "Where did my file 'x' go across the merge chain", I was
going to suggest something like

	git log --simplify-merges -m --raw -- x

But in the original example, the merge commit where 'x' is deleted isn't
shown _at all_ when path limiting is used. You end up either with
"git log -m" showing the two sides of the merge separately, "git log
--simplify-merges -- x" showing stuff that happened on the side branch
but _not_ the actual merge that made a change, or of course "git log --
x" showing nothing (because we don't traverse the changing side of the
merge).

Is there a way to say "show me everything that touched x, _including_
merges"?
