What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Right clicking on a file, selecting "Tortoise Git -> Show Log"

git log --after=2012-08-01 --first-parent BME-72 -- BuildmachineVersion.pm

Please notice that the resulting option combinations are the same in all three provided examples - but all results are different ...
Result1.png shows the same entries as the "git log"-command above ... I wasn't able to reproduce the contents of results1.png a second time (seems to have been an obscure order of option selection/deselection ...)
Results2.png and Results3.png show some different results with the same options ...
----------------
