From: Philippe Blain <levraiphilippeblain@xxxxxxxxx> Currently the line-log functionality (git log -L) only supports displaying patch output (`-p | --patch`, its default behavior) and suppressing it (`-s | --no-patch`). A check was added in the code to that effect in 5314efaea (line-log: detect unsupported formats, 2019-03-10) but the documentation was not updated. Explicitly mention that `-L` implies `-p`, that patch output can be suppressed using `-s`, and that all other diff formats are not allowed.
