From: Philippe Blain via GitGitGadget Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2020 12:47:49 GMT Subject: [PATCH 5/6] line-log: mention both modes in 'blame' and 'log' short help Message-ID: <27ef94e9cc4189c3d74e984437dcce24e1f29678.1603889270.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: From: Philippe Blain 'git blame -h' and 'git log -h' both show '-L ' and describe this option as "Process only line range n,m, counting from 1". No hint is given that a function name regex can also be used. Use instead, and expand the description of the option to mention both modes. Remove "counting from 1" as it's uneeded; it's uncommon to refer to the first line of a file as "line 0". Also, for 'git log', improve the wording to better reflect the long help.
