Thanks for the feedback. I did some tests :
git log -L 73,2000000085:Documentation/git-log.txt
does not error and shows the history from line 73 to the end of the file.
git log -L 300,2000000085:Documentation/git-log.txt
errors out:
fatal: file Documentation/git-log.txt has only 239 lines
But
git log -L 300,-2000000085:Documentation/git-log.txt
does not error out and shows the history for the whole file. Also,
git log -L 1,-2000000085:Documentation/git-log.txt
does not error out and gives the history for the first line.
So I think that it’s really only regex that must match...
