Hello,

$ cat a.c
int main() {
  int result;
}

$git add a.c

$git commit -m I
[master (root-commit) ef9ab63] I
  1 file changed, 3 insertions(+)
  create mode 100644 a.c

$cat a.c  # now the indentation of result changed
cat a.c
int main() {
    int result;
    return 0;
}

$git commit -am J

I expect that the result-line is not displayed as changed, when git log 
is called with -b.

Likewise:
git log --oneline  -b -L2,2:a.c
