Hello, this is my first time reporting an issue through mail, so I am sorry if I missed something. The file generated with `git bugreport` is attached to this mail, and I also copy-pasted its contents below just in case.
Tell me if you need more precisions, I feel like this is a bug, but it might just be an absence of feature.
Thanks in advance,
Robin Vagner.

Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.
What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
> Use the command `git log -L:<funcname>:<file>` on a python file, with an existing function name in an existing file.
What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
> The git log function to find the given function name and display its history.
What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
> I got this error : `fatal: -L parameter 'get_comment_from_args' starting at line 1: no match`
What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
> Since git already knows by default to use python for diffs with *.py files, I expected it to find the function.
Anything else you want to add:
> It works properly if I add a .gitattributes file with the following line : `*.py diff=python`, which is weird because I thought this was already the default values for git (at least a `git diff` shows me the function name properly in the diff blobs.
