Description
How can I walk rev-list limited by the file name, similar to git rev-list --all -- README? If it's not possible, how to implement in most optimal way?
Also, how to walk --all, I only able to walk limited by HEAD:
linux$ git rev-list --all | wc -l
856145
linux$ git rev-list HEAD | wc -l
640952
pry(main)> Walker.walk(repo, show: 'HEAD').to_a.size
=> 640952
(repo is linux kernel).

Research direction
Start with the Ruby entry point shown in the report, Walker.walk(repo, show: 'HEAD'), and compare its behavior with git rev-list --all and git rev-list --all -- README. Determine how path-limited traversal and all-reference traversal should be represented, then verify the result against the Linux kernel repository counts shown in the issue.
