This didn't parse well for me. Also, it affects -S, too, doesn't it?
Maybe:

  * "git log -G" and "git log -S" learned to pay attention to the "-i"
    option. When "-i" is given, their patterns will match
    case-insensitively.
I was torn about this item, and indeed my earlier draft read like
yours but I removed "-S" as it felt it was more confusing than it
was worth.  The thing is that -S does not take any pattern --- it is
meant to be given a (typically a multi-line) block of text to find
where the exact block cease to exist in the file.
