Git log showing files that hasn't changed #27

Is it possible for you to change from git log to git diff-tree? Due to some merge back, git log show files that hasn't really changed (possible due to squash merges), and then creating false positives.

It seems possible.

However, it is necessary to ensure that this will not impact existing users. Due to the lack of time and requests, I would suggest to try implement a PR and make some tests on your repositories.

As far as I know, you should be able to replace git log with: git diff-tree -m -1 -r --name-only --pretty=format: {commit-id}

But I'm not sure it will works in any situation.
