blame/log documentation describes -L option as: -L<start>,<end> -L:<regex> <start> and <end> can take one of these forms: * number * /regex/ * +offset or -offset * :regex which is incorrect and confusing since :regex is not one of the valid forms of <start> or <end>; in fact, it must be -L's lone argument. Clarify by discussing :<regex> at the same indentation level as "<start> and <end>...": -L<start>,<end> -L:<regex> <start> and <end> can take one of these forms: * number * /regex/ * +offset or -offset If :<regex> is given in place of <start> and <end> ...

<start> and <end> can take one of these forms:
|
|
|
|
- number
|
|
+
|
|
If <start> or <end> is a number, it specifies an
|
|
absolute line number (lines count from 1).
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
- /regex/
|
|
+
|
|
This form will use the first line matching the given
|
|
POSIX regex. If <end> is a regex, it will search
|
|
starting at the line given by <start>.
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
- +offset or -offset
|
|
+
|
|
This is only valid for <end> and will specify a number
|
|
of lines before or after the line given by <start>.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
If ``:<regex>'' is given in place of <start> and <end>, it denotes the range
|
|
from the first funcname line that matches <regex>, up to the next
|
|
funcname line.
