The old wording was somehow implying that <start> and <end> were not regular expressions. Also, the common case is to use a plain function name here so <funcname> makes sense (the fact that it is a regular expression is documented in line-range-format.txt). Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> --- Change since v1: changed one forgotten <regex> instance to <funcname>, and spell out "function name" completely in the text explaining it.
