And I was trying the new pickaxe because oldstyle git-whatchanged was messing up with my head because the space after the -S parameter is not valid syntax.

Doesn't work:
        git whatchanged -p -S 'CURLOPT_' cvshead -- mnet lib/mnet

Works:
        git whatchanged -p -S'CURLOPT_' cvshead -- mnet lib/mnet

So -- I'm sorted with this but it's not actually described anywhere I can see :-/ -- I only realised that reading Linus' old posts showing off pickaxe there was no space after the -S and gave it a go.

Weird semantics!
