Re: [PATCH 0/6] fix blame -L regression; add tests

Eric Sunshine [off-list ref] writes:

This series fixes a regression in "blame -L X,-N", adds blame -L tests,
and makes minor documentation adjustments. The tests, in particular,
were motivated by the desire to revisit and continue working on [1]
which extends git-blame to accept multiple -L's. That topic will need to
extend blame -L tests, of which there were essentially none.

Patches [2/6] (modernize style) and [3/6] (add blame -L tests) are
intentionally independent of the "git log -L" topic (from earlier this
year) to which the other patches are related.  This independence should
allow these two patches to graduate at their own pace without being tied
to "git log -L".

Eric Sunshine (6):
  line-range: fix "blame -L X,-N" regression
  t8001/t8002 (blame): modernize style
  t8001/t8002 (blame): add blame -L tests
  t8001/t8002 (blame): add blame -L :funcname tests
  blame-options.txt: place each -L option variation on its own line
  blame-options.txt: explain that -L <start> and <end> are optional

Thanks, and except for the comment I just sent out,

In case it wasn't obvious to anyone else: the tests do actually verify
that the right lines were picked, by counting how often each author is
blamed.
