Call me blunt, I cannot figure out how to use git pickaxe on a subdir. As it's aliased to blame it really wants a file, but I have a couple of top-level directories I want it to scan for a constant.

In short,
     git pickaxe -L '/CURLOPT_SSL/' origin/cvshead -- mnet lib/mnet

doesn't want to play with me. I initially tried with -S but the new way of doing it is -L, it seems -- passing the regex where the line numbers should be ;-)

cheers,
martin
