Subject: filter-branch: subdirectory filter needs --full-history
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.3-rc0~69^2

filter-branch: subdirectory filter needs --full-history

When two branches are merged that modify a subdirectory (possibly in
different intermediate steps) such that both end up identical, then
rev-list chooses only one branch. But when we filter history, we want to
keep both branches. Therefore, we must use --full-history.
