(See "History simplification" in linkgit:git-log[1] for a more
detailed explanation.)
--L<start>,<end>:<file>::
--L:<funcname>:<file>::
-
- Trace the evolution of the line range given by "<start>,<end>"
- (or 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`, but other diff formats
- (namely `--raw`, `--numstat`, `--shortstat`, `--dirstat`, `--summary`,
- `--name-only`, `--name-status`, `--check`) are not currently implemented.

-*Note:* gitk (unlike linkgit:git-log[1]) currently only understands
-this option if you specify it "glued together" with its argument. Do
-*not* put a space after `-L`.
