Perhaps something like this helps? Here it is with a test and a commit message (I don't think any doc update is necessary; as you noted, the docs already imply this is what should happen). -- >8 -- Subject: [PATCH] line-log: suppress diff output with "-s" When "-L" is in use, we ignore any diff output format that the user provides to us, and just always print a patch (with extra context lines covering the whole area of interest). It's not entirely clear what we should do with all formats (e.g., should "--stat" show just the diffstat of the touched lines, or the stat for the whole file?). But "-s" is pretty clear: the user probably wants to see just the commits that touched those lines, without any diff at all. Let's at least make that work. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> --- This punts completely on the larger question of what should happen with other formats like "--stat", "--raw", etc. They'll continue to be ignored entirely and we'll generate the line-log patch.
