Hi,

I don't think that's intended. When running "git log --no-merges" in a
shallow clone, and the last commit in the history is a merge commit,
"git log --no-merges" still shows it.

I've just hit this in a test running on a --depth=50 clone on Travis-CI
on git-multimail:

$ git cat-file -p c3c1cc25b27d448e9ef67b265a11be8735ff2df4
tree c341dd60c4b639eac1d6dcc3caffb5d7201c2245

Merge remote-tracking branch 'edward/utf-8-email-support4'

$ git log --no-merges c3c1cc25b27d448e9ef67b265a11be8735ff2df4

    Merge remote-tracking branch 'edward/utf-8-email-support4'

I guess Git counts the number of parents that are actually in the
repository, but it could check the number of "parents" field in the
object (cat-file -p was still able to show 2).

Thanks,
