If you've been following recent gitk development (or this thread) closely, you'll know that "git log -S" finds commits adding/removing a string, while "git log -G" finds commits changing lines matching a regex.

Examples for inclusion in the documentation welcome, certainly (especially if they come in patch form).

A quick web search finds some references:
