You want to use git log --follow, not -M. -M is for formatting of
patches (E.G. when you use git log -p).

With that you nicely have history back to 2000 when it was added:

commit 872138de50b1c5bbf105b0243f5778fcb02b310b
Author: Mark Whitley <[email protected]>

    Added cmp and readlink applets from Matt Kraai.
