Why does it actually match both things? I think that's
maybe wrong.
The folder was moved or delete so it doesn't exist in my
working directory. Also I can't use "git log" with another
file/folder doesn't exists but in another revision. What actually
exists is the file and that's imho the only thing that should match.
