0.7 doesn't know about log --no-merge, so I just switched to using
current (version 3b1b44b917f4). However, without --no-merge,
behaviour is identical to 0.7.

But since the long files: list is also visible in the kernel.org
hgweb interface, my initial question was regarding a possible
bug in the git -> hg conversion.
