I ran into a strange issue that has left me scratching my head.

I have a commit in my history, that does indeed show up in my branch,  
named "sprint"

The following commands yield as follows (I've modified the output  
slightly to conceal any potentially proprietary information):

The changes in 8f9effff for app/controllers/events_controller.rb show  
up in the working copy, however the changes for spec/fixtures/ 
factors.yml are nowhere to be seen.  It's as if the history of that  
particular file diverged somehow, but I know that can't be true since  
git doesn't track files.

Anyone run into this before?  Any idea what might have caused it?   
We're a bit concerned about this because if we don't know how to avoid  
this, we no longer can feel certain that when something is committed,  
it will make it out in our release.

Any help or clues VERY much apperciated.  Thanks!

Tim
