Hi Martin,

thanks for your answer!

That is indeed what I currently do, I plugged that to vim's visual 
selection with

   vnoremap <leader>l :<c-u>exe '!git log -L' 
line("'<").','.line("'>").':'.expand('%')<CR>

and it works great!

I was wondering if that was maybe an issue with the PHP regex, but with your
explanation I understand a bit more what the issue might be: The man 
page you
are quoting seems to say that the regex can only work on a single line as
opposed to a code block (for probably very good reasons), which means 
there is
no hope to include the phpdoc in the regex, or to fix this issue I suppose.

I also suppose the issue is the same for any other language that has 
documentation above function declarations.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.
