Jakub's point is that "git log -- a" lists only the revisions
which affect path 'a'.  Once those revisions have been selected
then output begins.  The 'a' gets reapplied as an output filter to
only show changes relevant to file 'a', but its very much a revision
filter during the revision listing process.
