           Summary: hg log filtering using file('path:pattern') does not

hg repository and logfiles

When using mercurial > 3.3.3 and trying to filter commits using
"file('path:pattern')" syntax, only commits of non-active branches are removed.
=> Filtering on active branch does not seem to work.

I have attached a repository containing two files:
- ufo1.txt (first commit)
- ufo2.txt in sub-directory "adir" (second commit)

When filtering commits using command
hg log -r file('path:adir')
output is:

Mercurial 3.3.3 (expected result):
- second commit only

Mercurial > 3.3.3 (wrong result):
- first and second commit

Remark: tested Mercurial up to 4.3.1 (at random)
