+`-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`, but other diff formats
+ (namely `--raw`, `--numstat`, `--shortstat`, `--dirstat`, `--summary`,
+ `--name-only`, `--name-status`, `--check`) are not currently implemented.
