Standard practice in Git documentation is for each variation of an option (such as: -p / --porcelain) to be placed on its own line in the OPTIONS table. The -L option does not follow suit. It cuddles "-L <start>,<end>" and "-L :<regex>", separated by a comma. This is inconsistent and potentially confusing since the comma separating them is typeset the same as the comma in "<start>,<end>". Fix this by placing each variation on its own line.
Ok, but why not fix them all in one go?
Edited to remove the false positives:
$ git grep -n '^.*,.*::$' Documentation/*.txt
