| `-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`, but other diff formats |
| (namely `--raw`, `--numstat`, `--shortstat`, `--dirstat`, `--summary`, |
| `--name-only`, `--name-status`, `--check`) 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`). |
