I did some fuzz-testing, choosing random commits and ranges from files
and running log -L on them.

While the good news is that I couldn't break ordinary log -L, there's a
rather embarassing pair of bugs: -M is completely broken (at least when
it would do any good) and the tests that claim to look at move support
actually don't pass -M.

So please hold off merging, I'll try to get this fixed this weekend.

Sorry for the trouble!
