Subject: blame-options.txt: explain that -L <start> and <end> are optional
X-Git-Tag: v1.8.4-rc0~28^2
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=df83d5cf6759541d6f3d94b29a91fd0d3e5dbcd5;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

blame-options.txt: explain that -L <start> and <end> are optional

The ability to omit either end of the -L range is a handy but
undocumented shortcut, and is thus not easily discovered. Fix this
shortcoming.
