Details:
Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!
Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.
What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
git log -L:'myFunction':~/a.java
The file is a java file that contains comment before the function name.
E.g.
/**
* comments will interrupt the regex match
*/
private static void myFunction() {}
What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
As described, it should return me the commit history that touched this function
What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
It returns error:
fatal: -L parameter 'myFunction' starting at line 1: no match
Anything else you want to add:
If the function name string to search for appears before any
java-style comment, it returns a valid response.
