Subject: [PATCH] Use `pathspec` in `git.log` task to allow for the use of
 previously deleted files in the value of the `file` option.

Prior to this change users of `git.log` may have been explicitly appending `'--': null` to their `git.log` options argument, this is no longer required but should not cause any interruption if not removed from the calling code.

Closes #857
