[CLI] Only display part of git history

[kamicloud]

Above is real git history displayed by tortoise.
When I use

git-file-history Application/DataService/Logic/RefundLogic.class.php

can only display 2 commit records in 2016

Do you have more info?
This is using the CLI, right?
Anything strange with the missing commits?
Is it just one file or everyone?

I'm using CLI, and tried use

git log --follow --reverse --date=iso FILE

only display 2 records

git log --follow --date=iso FILE

can view all commit logs by press ↑ and ↓

Maybe it is a git issue, but I dont know how to solve it

Finally I found it caused by --follow option, sometimes --follow not in a good performance.

git --no-pager log --reverse --date=iso FILE

It can display all commit logs.

Shall we make --follow as optional which can controlled by user? I can help to do that

I am seeing missing commits for moved files, but I believe this is caused by a known bug when utilizing --follow and --reverse

I think we'll drop --follow for now

Could you try with the new version? npx git-file-history@0.0.4 your/file

Works for me, but not for showing renamed file in history.

Is there a possibility for adding something like the following for showing renamed files? I think that could be very useful with an older codebase. Maybe its an edge case.

git log --name-only --pretty="format:"  --follow <filename> | sort -u | xargs git log --reverse --

Credit for command

It works, and I think --follow be controlled would by user better.
