That's the test I was referring to in the commit message:

  The new test is for a case that made me pause during debugging: the
  'blame -L with invalid end' test was the only one that noticed an
  outright failure to parse the end *at all*.  So make a more explicit
  test for that.

So I guess a more thorough test title would be

  blame -L parses <end> part of its argument

IOW, the test verifies that -L1,1 is not parsed the same as -L1, which
would result in *two* lines of output.
