Re: [PATCH v8 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>,$'.

Doesn't "-L <begin>" or "-L <begin>," do that already?  If it were
to introduce "-L $-4," or "-L$-4,+2", I would understand why the
addition may be useful, but otherwise I do not think it adds much
value.

It is a quiet-period so there is no need to rush, but did anything
happened further on this series?
