Thanks, but I think it is cleaner to fix the others in a separate
"treewide clean-up" patch.
Also I wonder if this one Documentation/git-log.txt:156
git log -L '/int main/',/^}/:main.c
should be more like one of these:
git log -L '/int main/,/^}/':main.c
git log -L '/int main/,/^}/:main.c'
I find it somewhat hard to spot the closing sq in the middle of a
string.
