Re: [PATCH v7 2/5] blame: introduce $ as "end of file" in -L syntax

To save the user a lookup of the last line number, introduce $ as a
shorthand for the last line.  This is mostly useful to spell "until
the end of the file" as '-L<begin>,$'.

Hmph.  This is mostly useful not to error out when user (perhaps
mistakenly) expects that the end of file is spelled as "$"; both
"git blame -L<begin>" and "git blame L<begin>," have always meant
"til the end", IIRC.

Heh.  That's actually a very good point; I think neither Bo nor me have
thought about allowing git log -L <begin>:<file>.
