 Running `git log --pretty=oneline -L:get_stack_map_frames:stackmapframes.rs`(filename/function names as an example only, consistent across many files.) results on in correct output but doesn't ouput in a oneline format(still includes the full diffs).

Occurs on `git version 2.26.GIT` (e870325ee8575d5c3d7afe0ba2c9be072c692b65), as well as whatever `git version 2.20.1`.

-L implies --patch, which outputs a full diff. If you don't want that, add --no-patch to the command.

The "--oneline" option has nothing to do with the diff display; it controls the formatting of the commit message.

The default for git-log is not to show a diff at all, which is why "git log --oneline" truly has only one line per commit. Using the "-L" option implies showing a diff. Try adding "-s" or "--no-patch" to suppress it.

Note that the combination of "-s" and "-L" was added in v2.22, so it will work on one but not the other.
