[PATCH] t4202 (log): add failing test for log with subtree

From: Ramkumar Ramachandra <hidden>

When using 'git subtree' to add an external project at a given prefix,
log of a pathspec within the prefix fails to give the expected output.
This failure can be interpreted as log expecting all trees to be read
into /.  Document this bug by adding a failing test.

 I normally don't use git-subtree, but happened to notice this when I
 was checking it out: a 'git log <pathspec>', when referring to a file
 inside the subtree, doesn't work as expected: it only displays the
 HEAD commit.  I know this is not related to git-subtree at all, and
 has to do with how 'git log' (and probably 'git merge -Xsubtree',
 'git merge -s subtree') works.  I suspect that 'git log' expects all
 trees to be read into /, and I've tried to prove this with a failing
 test.

 I think this is a bug, but I might be missing something.  Can someone
 tell me what is actually happening?
