Try `--full-history' maybe? Also, rather than `head -20', you can
limit the output directly with `-20':

  git log --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit --full-history -20

It's hard to know what's going on in your particular example; perhaps
give us the output of `git log' when using the `--graph' option.
