Git 2.36 disabled history simplification when the log subcommand is run with certain --diff-merges styles.
This made QGit's file history view almost useless, because every merge commit is listed as a change to
every file, and annotations don't work. See

https://github.com/tibirna/qgit/issues/129#issuecomment-1710512452

The fix is very simple, and the bug is relatively severe IMHO (I'm leaving it up to you if you want to
classify it as important, though), so I hope that it can be included in a stable update.
