You're not putting the puzzle together in the right way. The chain
goes roughly like this:
* git-log wants to know what its arguments resolve to
* (the internal equivalent of) git-rev-parse works out that :/fix is
a525d2a, as it (apparently) is the youngest commit with a message
starting with 'fix' (see man git-rev-parse)
* git-log feeds a525d2a to the revision walker
* the revision walker starts outputting commits backwards through
history, starting from a525d2a
and unsurprisingly, the log you pasted is just 'git log a525d2a'.
