line-range-options

-L<start>,<end>:<file>

-L:<funcname>:<file>

Trace the evolution of the line range given by `<start>,<end>`,
or by the function name regex _<funcname>_, within the _<file>_. You may
not give any pathspec limiters.  This is currently limited to
a walk starting from a single revision, i.e., you may only
give zero or one positive revision arguments, and
_<start>_ and _<end>_ (or _<funcname>_) must exist in the starting revision.
You can specify this option more than once. Implies `--patch`.
Patch output can be suppressed using `--no-patch`.
Non-patch diff formats `--raw`, `--name-only`, `--name-status`,
and `--summary` are supported.  Diff stat formats
(`--stat`, `--numstat`, `--shortstat`, `--dirstat`) are not
currently implemented.

Patch formatting options such as --word-diff, --color-moved, --no-prefix, and whitespace options (-w, -b) are supported, as are pickaxe options (-S, -G) and --diff-filter.
