Re: git log --stat FILE

Hi guys.

I'm probably just missing something here, but I've run across a rather
annoying behavior of log.

When I do "git log --stat FILE", then only commits which touch FILE
are displayed, as expected.  However, contrary to expectation (well,
my expectation at least), the stat shows that only one file (FILE) is
modified by the commits, even if they actually modified multiple files.
That's not what I wanted; I used FILE to select commits, not to
control how they are presented.  In fact, the information which is
hidden is exactly that which I wanted to see; the whole reason for the
--stat was that I wanted to know what _other_ files were modified
together with FILE.

What's worse, I could not find how to circumvent this behavior, [...]

See --full-diff option to git-log.
